What reading level is Fables in Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With envy filled and angry spite The Spider eyes the sumptuous sight, Begrudges Trout his fatt'ning feed, And gazes down with jealous greed : What fortune wafts her cannot see ; Lets all her tangled insects free ; TROUT'S TRIUMPH. 129 Has but one thought, on that intent, The Trout to thwart and circumvent.
See now with nimble step she wends To where the bright-belled heather bends Above the clear reflecting pool, So warm with colour, yet so cool. See how she, climbing higher, higher, Now perche...s on the purple spire, And from her flings a silken line So subtle, filmy, small, and fine, That none its presence e'er could know Save by its golden sun-stained glow. Wind- wafted see it wanders o'er A feath'ry fern on yonder shore, Flits here and there with wavy flights, And falling finally alights.
Then Spider knows her line is laid, Her frail suspension-bridge is made, And finding it securely caught She tests its strength, and draws it taut : Out ventures on the shining strand, And hangs mid-air 'twixt land and land.
