The Adventures of Toto  

Answer  

Page No: 11 Think About It 

Answer1: Toto was in the captivity of a tonga owner. The grandfather gets sympathetic with the  monkey and thinks that his private zoo would be a better place for Toto. So he purchased Toto  from the tongawallah for five rupees.  

Answer2: Toto was a pretty monkey. His bright eyes sparkled with mischief beneath the deep-set  eyebrows, and his teeth, which were a pearly white, were very often displayed in a smile that  frightened the life out of elderly Anglo-Indian ladies. But his hands looked dried-up as though  they had been pickled in the sun for many years. Yet his fingers were quick and wicked and his  tail, while adding to his good looks served as a third hand. He could use it to hang from a branch  and it was capable of scooping up any delicacy that might be out of reach of his

hands.  

Answer3: Toto was a real menace for every living soul in the household. Other animals in  grandfather’s zoo were at Toto’s mercy even during night. So, grandfather decided to provide  some relief to other animals in the zoo and thought of taking Toto to Shaharanpur.  The ticket collector was following his rulebooks. As there seems to be no rule for fixing a  monkey’s fare so he equated Toto with dog. Ticket collector’s ingenuity tried to categorize all  pets of a certain size as dogs.  

Answer4: Toto takes bath in a tub of warm water. It 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 proper steps of  bathing 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.  

Answer5: Though Toto was pretty and clever, he was very mischievous. He brought a lot of damage  to the house by breaking dishes, tearing clothes and curtains. He also scared the visiotrs by  tearing holes in their dresses. Furthermore, he didn’t get along well with other animals in the  house too. One day Toto crossed the limits by picking up a dish of pullao and running on a  branch to eat it. When scolded he threw off the plate and broke it. That’s when grandfather  decided he had had enough of Toto because he couldn’t bear the losses that he incurred because  of Toto’s mischief.
