                                                        Lesson Notes



                       Grandfather was fond of animals and had a private zoo.

                       He bought Toto, a monkey from a Tonga driver for five rupees.

                       Toto was a pretty monkey.

                       Toto’s presence was kept a secret from Grandmother.

                       Toto was kept in a big cage with other pets that lived very

                         sociably together. But Toto wouldn't allow any of the other pet

                         animals to sleep at night.

                       So, Grandfather who had to collect pension from Saharanpur

                         decided to take him along. Toto poked his head out from the bag

                         when Grandfather was producing his tickets. Thus Grandfather

                         had to pay three rupees as his fare.

                       Toto was finally accepted by Grandmother and given a

                         comfortable home in the stable. During winter evenings, she

                         used to give him warm water for his bath.

                       Toto was a very mischievous monkey and caused a lot of

                         damage.

                       They could not afford the frequent loss of things.


                       Grandfather realized that Toto was not the type of pet to be kept
                         in the house.


                       He found the Tonga-driver, and sold Toto back to him for Rs 3.
