Q: Why was Bruno sent away to the Zoo and why was he brought back?
A: The bear, Bruno, was very dear to the author‟s wife. They spent many

hours together and love each other‟s company. But when he had grown
very big and heavy, he was dangerous. He was very playful and
mischievous. There were small children of the tenants‟ family. So they
had to chain him most of the time. The author felt that he was depriving
Bruno of his natural freedom. So he decided to send him to a zoo. But
his wife could not bear his separation. The author consoled her for three

months, but at last he took her to the zoo. On seeing her Baba howled
with happiness. They spend many hours together. She wanted to take
him back to home. She requested the superintendent who allowed her.
