What reading level is National Tales 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of the gentlemen, inventing dreams for those drowsy personages, provoked much mirth by their allusions; whilst others speculated satirically on the changes in manners, which they must have remarked after their century of slumber — all of the listeners being 144 THE EIGHTH SLEEPER highly diverted, excepting one sober gentleman, who made a thousand wry faces at the dis- course.
At length, taking an opportunity to address them, he lectured them very seriously in defence of the miracle, callin...g them so many heretics and infidels ; and saying that he saw no reason why the history should not be beheved as well as any other legend of the holy fathers. Then, after many other curious arguments, he brought the example of the dormouse, which sleeps throughout a whole winter, affirming, that the Ephesian Christians, being laid in a cold place, like a rocky cavern or a sepulchre, might rea- sonably have remained torpid for a hundred years.
His companions, feigning themselves to be converted, flattered him on to proceed in a discourse which ^was so diverting, some of them replenishing his glass continually with wine — of which, through talking till he became thirsty, he partook very freely.
