Explanation: Grandfather`s reason to buy Toto

• The book Grandfather`s Private Zoo is written by Ruskin Bond.
• The story starts with the adventures of Toto, the monkey.
• The narrator`s grandfather loves to keep animals at his home.
• He had turned his home into a private zoo.
• He had many animals but did not have a monkey.
• One day he saw this attractive naughty monkey with a tonga driver.
• So he decided to buy it from a sum of rupees five.

Grandfather kept secret from Grandmother

• The narrator is a small boy and his grandfather loves to keep a private zoo at his home.
• On the other hand grandmother dislikes the trouble making animals and does not approve of any more addition.
• Toto, the monkey presence was kept a secret from the narrator`s grandmother because she did not approve of any further additions to the already existing pets in the zoo.
• As a result Toto was kept in a closet that opened into the narrator`s bedroom wall and was tied to a peg fastened into the wall.
