To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"I never drew water with a windlass. " I had a much harder task than I supposed, but succeeded in swinging thebucket onto the platform of the curb, and turned the water intoSamanthy's pail. I never asked permission to draw another bucketful. I noticed below the well a large mound, grass-grown, with an apple-treegrowing on its very top. I wondered how it came there, and one day askedMr. Wetherell. He said: "That's where we threw the rocks and gravel out of the wellfifty years ago; we never moved... it. It grassed over, and the apple-treecame up there; it bears a striped apple, crisp and sour. " I thought, What a freak of Nature! and I wished that many more piles ofrubbish might be transformed into such a pretty spot as this. Below the mound stood the old hollow tree; its trunk was low and verylarge, one side had rotted away, leaving it nearly hollow. Still therewas trunk enough left for the sap to run up; and every year it wasloaded with fruit. Close by the path across the field to the road stood the Pangapple-tree.
