Question 1.

How does Toto come to grand-father’s


private zoo?
Answer:
Grandfather loved animals. One day he saw
this attractive monkey with a tonga- driver.
The monkey was tied to a feeding- trough
and seemed out of place there. Grandfather
had great liking for animals. So he decided
to buy Toto from the tonga- driver and
bought it for five rupees.

Question 2.
“Toto was a pretty monkey.” In what sense
is Toto pretty?
Answer:
Toto had bright eyes sparkling with
mischief, pearly white teeth, quick and
wicked fingers and a gracious tail which
served as a third hand. The smile of Toto
was cute and frightened elderly Anglo-
Indian ladies. Altogether all these qualities
made him pretty

Question 3.
Why does grandfather take Toto to
Saharanpur and how? Why does the ticket
collector insist on calling Toto a dog?
Answer:
Toto was a mischievous monkey. He kept
disturbing all other animals in
grandfather’s private zoo. It seemed that
only grandfather could manage him
properly. So, he took Toto to Saharanpur in
a bag. The ticket collector called Toto a dog
as the monkey did not qualify the category
of human beings.

Question 4.
How does Toto take a bath? Where has he
learnt to do this? How does Toto almost boil
himself alive?
Answer:
Toto cunningly tested the temperature with
his hand then gradually stepped into the
bath. He stepped first one foot, then the
other, until he was into the water up to his
neck. He rubbed himself all over with the
soap. He learned it all from the author.
Some day Toto got in a large kitchen kettle
which was on fire to boil. He enjoyed the
warm water but when the water turned out
to be hot he jumped up and down. Suddenly
the grandmother arrived at and pulled him
out in half-boiled condition.

Question 5.
Why does the author say, “Toto was not the
sort of pet we could keep for long”?
Answer:
Author’s statement about Toto proves itself
if we take Toto’s misdeeds into
consideration. Nobody could afford the
frequent losses. He disturbed all other
animals too. Obviously Toto was not the
sort of pet we could keep for long.
