To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then she would get angry and try to beat me. But her tender little hands hurt themselves on my rough skin, and she would stop, ready to cry, and say : "Hateful thing ! You prick me !" To comfort her I would stroll towards the fountain, and she would follow clapping her hands. . . .
"Oh, yes yes, make the water-spout. " This consisted in drawing up an enormous ELEPHANT GAMES 113 quantity of water (we are capable of holding in our stomachs an incredible amount), and of rais- ing my trunk and spou...ting it out in sprays, jets, and showers. The sun shining on the little drops made them sparkle with all the colours of the rainbow.
With uplifted head and with ecstatic eyes, Parvati would look on. She did not laugh nor exclaim, but said gravely : "That is beautiful!" Her one fixed idea was to get on my back and go for a promenade. But a fall from such a mountain as I would have been terrible for her, and I opposed a firm resistance.
At the same time I studied how I might find a way of gratifying her with safety.
