To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But not the good things, the finethings, the choice things, such as pork, poultry, bananas, cocoanuts, thechoicer varieties of fish, and so on. By the tabu, all these were sacredto the men; the women spent their lives longing for them and wonderingwhat they might taste like; and they died without finding out.
These rules, as you see, were quite simple and clear. It was easy toremember them; and useful. For the penalty for infringing any rule inthe whole list was death. Those women easily learne...d to put up withshark and taro and dog for a diet when the other things were soexpensive.
It was death for any one to walk upon tabu'd ground; or defile a tabu'dthing with his touch; or fail in due servility to a chief; or step uponthe king's shadow. The nobles and the King and the priests were alwayssuspending little rags here and there and yonder, to give notice to thepeople that the decorated spot or thing was tabu, and death lurking near. The struggle for life was difficult and chancy in the islands in thosedays.
