THE ADVENTURES OF TOTO: ncert solution Class 9

Think about It: Page-11.

1. How does Toto come to grandfather’s private zoo?

Ans: Grandfather comes across a tonga driver who had a red little monkey tied to a feeding trough. He noticed the monkey looking out of place. So he decided to buy the monkey to add to his private zoo. In this way, Toto(the monkey) comes to grandfather’s private zoo.

2. "Toto was a pretty monkey.” In what sense is Toto pretty?

Ans: Toto was considered to be a pretty monkey because of the following reasons.

(i)There was hidden mischief in his sparkling eyes.

(ii) Anglo-Indian ladies were afraid of his white teeth when he used to smile.

(iii) He used his fingers and tail in an extraordinary way.

3. Why does grandfather take Toto to Saharanpur and how?

Why does the ticket collector insist on calling Toto a dog?

Ans: As we know, the monkey is a kind of animal which is found unnecessary active and busy. Toto is also a monkey. Due to his unnecessary activities, the other animals in the zoo do not sleep at night. That is why grandfather took Toto to Saharanpur.

He arranged a big and strong canvas kit bag with some straw at the bottom. Now Toto was not able to get his hands through the openings, and so, it was safe and sound.

The ticket collector insisted on calling Toto a dog because of his presence of mind and grandfather’s annoyance. He qualified the monkey to be a quadruped(four-legged animal) and claimed for the fare.

4. How does Toto take a bath? Where has he learnt to do this? How does Toto almost boil himself alive?

Ans: Toto takes a bath imitating his master(a man). He has learnt to do this by viewing men taking a bath. He has learnt to sense the heat of the water to be used for bathing. One day, Toto jumped into the kettle full of water being heated. Heated water compelled him to jump up and down. But in the meantime grandmother saw and saved him from being boiled alive.

5. Why does the author say, “Toto was not the sort of pet we could keep for long”?

Ans: The author says “Toto was not a sort of pet we could keep for long” because of the following reasons.

(ii)He was a creator of new problems.

(iii)He did not allow any other animals in the private zoo to sleep at night.
