Ans: Grandfather bought Toto from a tonga-driver for five rupees. The tonga-driver kept the monkey tied to a feeding-trough. It looked so out of place there that grandfather decided he would add it to his private zoo.

Ans: Grandfather finds Toto bodily pretty. Toto has bright sparkling eyes. There is mischief beneath his deep-set eyes. He shows his pearly white teeth in a smile. The Anglo- Indian ladies are afraid of his smile. He has quick fingers. His tail serves as a third hand.

3. Why does grandfather take Toto to Saharanpur and how? Why does the ticket collector insist on calling Toto a dog?

Ans: Toto was transferred to a big cage in the servants’ quarters where a number of grandfather’s pets lived together. However, Toto would not allow other animals to sleep at night. Therefore, grandfather, who had to leave for Saharanpur to collect his pension, decided to take it along with him. A big black canvas kit-bag with some straw at the bottom was arranged for Toto to travel in. The canvas was too strong for Toto to bite and he could not get his hands out through the opening in the bag. When Toto poked its head out of the bag at Saharanpur station, the ticket collector was taken aback. He called Toto a dog and asked grandfather to pay for its travel. Even after repeated explanations and convincing by the grandfather, the ticket collector charged him for the monkey by calling it a dog. There is nothing in the story to tell us why the ticket collector insisted on calling Toto a dog. You could discuss the second part of the question with your teacher..

Ans: Toto takes bath in a bowl of warm water. Be would check the temperature first then puts its legs in the water one by one and applies soap as well. As monkeys are good at aping others, so Toto has learnt to do this while watching the narrator doing same. Toto is fond of bathing with warm water. So once having tested the warmth of water in the kettle Toto sits in the kettle. Probably he is not intelligent enough to understand the risk boiling water so he pops his head up and down in the kettle.

Ans: Toto creates one problem after another. He does not allow other animals to live in peace. He breaks the plates behind the plates. He rips clothes, curtains and wallpaper. The family is poor. So this loss is unbearable. So, Toto is sold back to the driver of the Tonga in three-rupees.

He saw a large kitchen kettle left on the fire to boil for tea. He removed the lid and found the water warm enough for a bath. He got in with his head sticking out from the open kettle. A little while later, the water began to boil and Toto raised himself but sat down again since it was cold outside. He hopped up and down many times till Grandmother came and took out a half-boiled Toto from the kettle. āĻāĻĻিāύ āĻোāĻোā§ąে āĻা āϧুāĻŦāϞৈ āĻেāώ্āĻা āĻā§°োঁāϤে āύিāĻāĻে āĻĒ্ā§°াāϝ় āĻীāϝ়াāĻ āĻāϤāϞাāĻ āĻিāϞ। āϤেāĻঁ āĻাāĻšā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻāϤāϞাāĻŦāϞৈ āĻুāĻāϤ āĻāĻা āĻĄাāĻā§° āĻĒাāĻāĻā§°ā§° āĻেāĻāϞী āĻā§°ি āϝোā§ąা āĻĻেāĻিāϞে। āϤেāĻঁ āĻĸাāĻāύিāĻো āĻঁāϤ⧰াāĻ āĻা āϧোā§ąাā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻĒাāύী āϝāĻĨেāώ্āĻ āĻā§°āĻŽ āĻĒাāĻāĻিāϞ। āϤেāĻঁ āĻোāϞা āĻেāĻāϞীā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻŽূā§°āĻো āĻŦাāĻšিā§°āϞৈ āĻāϞিāϝ়াāĻ āϏোāĻŽাāĻ āĻāĻšিāϞ। āĻ

He tore things to pieces. He tore up the dresses of the aunt. He broke plates and utensils. One day Toto entered the dining room, he picked up the dish and ran out with a plate of Pulao to sit in the branches of the jackfruit tree. He stayed there all afternoon and ate slowly till he finished all the rice. Then, to irritate Grandmother, he threw the dish from the tree thus breaking it into pieces. āĻোāĻোā§ąে āϤাā§° āĻĻুāώ্āĻāϤা āĻā§°ি āĻĻিāϝ়া āύাāĻিāϞ। āϤেāĻঁ āĻŦāϏ্āϤুāĻŦোā§° āĻুāĻুā§°া āĻুāĻুā§° āĻā§°ি āĻĒেāϞাāĻāĻিāϞ। āϏি āĻুāĻĄ়ীā§° āĻĒোāĻাāĻ āĻŦোā§° āĻিāĻি āĻĒেāϞাāĻāĻিāϞ। āϤেāĻঁ āĻĒ্āϞেāĻ āĻā§°ু āĻŦাāĻāύ-āĻŦā§°্āϤāύ āĻাāĻিāϞে। āĻāĻĻিāύ āĻোāĻো āĻĄাāĻāύিং ā§°ুāĻŽāϤ āĻĒ্ā§°ā§ąেāĻļ āĻā§°িāϞে, āϤেāĻঁ āĻŦ্āϝāĻ্āĻāύāĻো āϤুāϞি āϞāϞে āĻā§°ু āĻঁāĻ াāϞ āĻāĻā§° āĻĄাāϞāϤ āĻŦāĻšিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĒুāϞাāĻā§° āĻĒ্āϞেāĻ āĻāĻāύ āϞৈ āĻĻৌā§°ি āĻāĻšিāϞ। āϤেāĻঁ āĻোāĻেāĻ āĻĻুāĻĒā§°ীāϝ়া āϤাāϤ āĻāĻিāϞ āĻā§°ু āϏāĻāϞো āĻাāĻāϞ āĻļেāώ āύোāĻšোā§ąাāϞৈāĻে āϞাāĻšে āϞাāĻšে āĻাāĻāĻিāϞ। āϤাā§° āĻĒিāĻāϤ, āĻāĻāϤাāĻ āĻŦিā§°āĻ্āϤ āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ, āϤেāĻঁ āĻŦ্āϝāĻ্āĻāύāĻো āĻāĻā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻĻāϞিāϝ়াāĻ āĻĻিāĻিāϞ āĻā§°ু āĻāύেāĻĻā§°ে āĻāϝ়াāĻ āĻুāĻুā§°া āĻুāĻুā§° āĻā§°ি āĻĒেāϞাāĻāĻিāϞ। Toto caused much mess to the family.
