1. How
does Toto come
to grandfather’s private
Zoo ?
Ans : One
day grandfather found
a little monkey . A
tonga – driver used to
keep the red
monkey tied to
a feeding - trough
and the monkey
looked so out
of place there
that grandfather decided
to bring it
home and add
it to his
little zoo . He
at once bought
Toto for five
rupees.
2. “ Toto was
a pretty monkey”
In what sense
is Toto pretty ?
Ans : To grandfather
Toto looked pretty
with his bright sparkling eyes
and there was
mischief beneath the
deep - set eyebrows. His
teeth were pearly
white which he
often used to
frighten the life
out of elderly
Anglo – Indian ladies. But
his hands were
dry . And his
fingers were quick
and wicked. His
long tail worked
as his third
hand all these
made Toto’s appearance
pretty.
3. Why
does grandfather take
Toto to Saharanpur
and how ? Why
does the ticket
collector insist on
calling Toto a dog
?
Ans : At the first night
Toto did not
allow other animals
to sleep. Grandfather
had to go
Saharanpur the next
morning and he
decided to take
Toto with him .
A big
black canvas kit bag
was provided for
Toto . Some straw
at the bottom
of the bag
was placed . When
the bag was
tied Toto could
not make his
hands out of
the bag . The ticket
collector took Toto
for dog because
he found it
four - footed.
4. How
does Toto take
a bath ? Where has he
learnt to do
this ? How
does Toto almost
boil himself alive ?
Ans : Toto
take a bath
just like a
man. He has
learnt to do
so by imitating
the author . first ,
he puts his
hand in the
water of his
bathtub to check
the temperature , then
he steps in
slowly in the
water . He also
rubs soap to
his body . When
he finds the
water cool he
gets up and
runs to the
kitchen fire to
warm himself up.
5. Why
does the author
say , ‘ Toto was not
the sort of
pet we could
keep for long’?
Ans : Toto was
extremely misachievous and
created one problem
after another .
he did not
let other animals
live in peace
he broke plates ,
tore useful clothes
and curtains . They could
not bear the
loss. And so
he was transferred
to the tonga- driver again .
so the author
says so.
