What reading level is The Indian Child's Mother book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is said that Hira's mother helped to smooth matters, and that the head mother used great tact, so that after a few hours the girdles were removed and put to their ordinary uses.
What a long-suffering granny she was ! Even the naughtiest child could not move her to displeasure.
" Is it not a child ? " she would say ; " he will become wise when he grows older." Or : " Poor Jewel !
she will have to be sent to her mother-in-law some day " ; but that threat held no fear for the small offender — ^...why should it ? — when she reflected that it meant going to another granny.
During the years that followed, Surajo served her day and generation. Her mother-in-law trusted and depended on her more and more, her own daughters being in far-away homes ; if in trouble, she always turned to Surajo. So it came to pass that, falling ill, while away on a visit to the city, she sent for the " daughter of the sweet tongue and gentle hand." " Tell the mother of Hira to come at once," she said, " tell her that my liver is on fire, tell her to bring some mustard fresh from the field, and a pumpkin — she used to put sliced pumpkins on my head to cool it ; tell her that the omen was bad, tell her I saw a broomstick the wrong way up." " Yes, sister," they answered, " we will send a messenger at once." Another, trying to soothe her, said that poor granny hardly knew what she was saying.
