The Adventures of Toto
THE ADVENTURES OF TOTO
Think about it
Question 1. How does Toto come to grandfather’s private zoo?
Answer: Toto was owned by a tonga-driver who used to keep him tied to a feeding-trough.
Grandfather felt that the monkey was out of place there. So, he decided to add the little monkey to his
private zoo. He bought Toto from the tonga-driver for five rupees.
Question 2. “Toto was a pretty monkey.” In what sense is Toto pretty?
Answer: Toto had bright eyes with mischief beneath deep-set eyebrows. His pearly white teeth were
very often displayed in a smile that frightened the life out of elderly Anglo-Indian ladies. His hands
looked dried-up. His fingers were quick and wicked. His tail added to his good looks and also served as
a third hand. He could use his tail to hang from a branch and to scoop up any delicacy that might be out
of reach of his hands.
Question 3. Why does grandfather take Toto to Saharanpur and how? Why does the ticket collector
insist on calling Toto a dog?
Answer: Grandfather takes Toto to Saharanpur because he would not allow his companions to sleep
at night. Grandfather had to leave Dehra Dun the next day to collect his pension in Saharanpur. So, he
decided to take Toto along. He took him in a bag by train.
The ticket collector insisted on calling Toto a dog because he did not have any fixed fare for a monkey.
The monkey could not be charged as a human being. So, he decided to categorize it as a dog and charge
accordingly.
Question 4. How does Toto take a bath? Where has he learnt to do this? How does Toto almost boil
himself alive?
Answer: Toto took a bath by first checking the temperature of the water with his hand. Then he would
put one foot in the water, then the other until he was in the water up to his neck. He would take the
soap in his hands or feet and rub himself all over.
One day when a large kitchen kettle had been left on the fire to boil for tea, Toto decided to remove the
lid. He found that water was just warm enough for a bath and he got in with his head sticking out from
the open kettle. The water began to boil. He continued hopping up and down for some time until
grandmother arrived and hauled him out of the kettle. That’s how he almost boiled himself alive.
Question 5. Why does the author say, “Toto was not the sort of pet we could keep for long”?
