To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A large live porcupine was also brought for sale by a Dayak woman who hadraised it. The creature was confined in a kind of bag, and by means of itsstrength it managed to escape from between the hands of the owner. Although she and several Dayaks immediately started in pursuit, itsucceeded in eluding them. However, the woman believed implicitly that itwould return, and a couple of days later it did reappear, passing my tentat dusk. Every evening afterward about eight o'clock it was a regularvisi...tor, taking food out of my hand and then continuing its trip to thekitchen, which was less than a hundred metres farther up the river bank. Finally it became a nuisance, turning over saucepans to look for food andotherwise annoying us, so I bought it for one ringit in order to have itskinned. The difficulty was to catch it, because its quills are long andsharp; but next evening the Murungs brought it to me enmeshed in a strongnet, and how to kill it was the next question.
The Dayaks at once proposed to shoot it with the sumpitan--a very goodscheme, though I fancied that darkness might interfere.
