What reading level is Aino Folk-Tales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then his son was immediatelyhealed.
After that, the axe (who appeared as a very handsome man), the tray, andthe pestle all came, and became the little boy's brothers and sisters. The axe, being a god, knew all that went on and the causes ofeverything; and it and the tray and the pestle used always to tell theboy everything. Thus, if any one was sick, he knew why the sickness hadcome, and how it should be treated. He was looked upon as a greatsoothsayer and wizard, who could turn death into life.... This was becauseother people only saw him. They did not see his divine informants, theaxe, the tray, and the pestle.
For this reason never throw away anything that has belonged to yourancestors. You will be punished by the gods if you do so.
[In a variant of this tale, the death of child after child borne by acertain woman was owing to the fact that the doll with which she herselfhad played as a child (a piece of wood shaped like a bird) had beenthrown away in the grass, and had thus had its anger aroused.
