What reading level is Asia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Siamese believe that the souls of men after death go into the bodies of animals, and hence they do not eat flesh.
We are disgusted with even the prettiest of the Siamese girls when they open their mouths, for their tongues and teeth are as black as your boots, and not a few have mouths filled with what seems to be blood. We see that all men when not eating are chewing, and that some now and then spit out great quantities of blood-red saliva. We >^^ Siamese Women.
170 SI AM.
find that this c...omes from the chewing of the betel nut, a custom which is common throughout Farther India, and which is universal among all classes of people in Siam.
The Siamese have a proverb which states that any dog can have white teeth, but only those who can afford to chew the betel nut can have beautiful black ones.
The betel nut grows on a kind of palm tree. It is about the size of an American black walnut. It has a green skin, is of a soft, spongy nature, and has a bitter taste. Its use has much the same effect as tobacco upon those who chew it, taking away hunger and stimulating the nerves.
