What reading level is Unsuccessful Competitors And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What about your 12 or 14 thousand miles to Europe now ? That sun is close to us compared to the stars. The nearest star is so many millions and billions of miles distant that the mention of it only reveals how much a man doesn't know. If you were to travel 92 million miles to the sun, and have a " smoke-oh " and look round, you wouldn't be an inch nearer to the stars. They are so far away that 92 million miles don't make any difference to them. Oh, Brother Jaffar !
The fixed stars are suns, som...e of them bigger than our sun, and our great, big, fiery sun, that sucks up all the water on the plains and drinks up all our rivers, and robs our flocks of water, and brings death to sheep and sundowners, is only a baby star itself. Our sun is only a speck in the universe, a sand grain amid the multitude of stars that fleck the shoreless sea of the infinite. And our earth ? Poor little wandering speck of fire-spun matter. If our sun is a speck, then what is our earth ! Poor, Fortune Telhng* 81 pitiful little speck, circling round a larger speck !
