What reading level is The Story of a Tinder-Box book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You will notice that it lowers the flame for amoment, but almost immediately the flame dashes through the gauze (Fig. 32 A). Here is another piece of gauze, not quite so coarse as the last. I place this over the flame, and for a moment the flame cannot getthrough it. There, you see it is through now, but it did not pass withthe same readiness that it did in the case of the other piece of gauze, which was coarser. Now, when I take a piece of fine gauze, the flamedoes not pass through at all unti...l the gauze is nearly red-hot. Thereis plenty of gas passing all the time. If I take a still finer gauze, Ishall find that the flame won't pass even when it is almost red-hot(Fig. 32 B). Plenty of gas is passing through, remember, all the time, but the flame does not pass through. Now why is it that the flame isunable to pass? The reason is this--because the metal gauze has socooled the flame that the heat on one side is not sufficient to set fireto the gas on the other side. I must have, you see, a certaintemperature to fire my gas.
