    Ch2: The Adventures of Toto

    Think about it (Page 11)

    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. Someday 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.

    Talk about it (Page 11)

    Question 1. Do you have a pet? Is your pet mischievous? Tell the


    class about it.

    Answer: Yes, I have a pet dog named Moti. My father had brought him
    from my maternal uncle’s house when he was very small. Moti is like
    a member of my family. I have special attachment to him. He is very
    active and vigilant. He is an epitome of loyalty. He keeps sitting beside
    the main gate at night. Whenever there is any unknown sound inside
    my house, he starts barking. All the members of my family love Moti
    very much. Moti proves to be really a gem many a time. He keeps us
    safe all the time. Our Moti is not mischievous. He is very sensible and
    sensitive as well. We feel secure in his presence. I pray to God to keep
    him healthy.
