What reading level is The book of Ceylon Being a Guide to Its Railway System And An Account of Its Va book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Padukka (21m. 74c. ). — Padukka is a Sinhalese agricultural village of the same character as Homogama, with the additional feature of an excellent rest-house. The Jak trees in this dis- trict will attract the notice of the traveller by their stupendous growth and gigantic fruit. The Jak not only grows the largest of all edible fruits, but it bears it in prodigious quantity and In a peculiar fashion. It throws huge pods from the trunk and larger branches, and suspends them by a thick and short s...talk. There are sometimes as many as eighty of these huge fruits upon one tree, some of them weighing as much as forty to fifty pounds. They are pale green in colour, with a granu- lated surface. Inside the rough skin is a soft yellow substance, and embedded in this are some kernels about the size of a walnut. This fruit often forms an ingredient in the native curries, but its flavour is disliked by Europeans. Elephants, however, are very fond of it, and its great size would seem to make it an appropriate form of food for these huge beasts.
