Summary of The Adventures of Toto
The Adventures of Toto by Ruskin Bond is an amusing story highlighting
the antics of a mischievous monkey.
The narrator’s grandfather bought Toto, a little red monkey
from a tonga driver to add to his collection of animals in his private zoo.
Toto was an attractive monkey with sparkling eyes. He would
take special delight in scaring elderly Anglo-Indian ladies. Since grandmother was
always averse to grandfather’s collection of animals, he decided to keep the
news about Toto hidden from her until she was in better mood.
Toto was temporarily kept in a closet that opened into the
narrator’s bedroom. After a few hours of keeping Toto in the closet, when the
narrator and the grandfather came to see Toto, they were in for a shock. Toto
had torn the wallpaper; the peg with which Toto had been bound, had been
wrenched off the wall. The narrator’s school blazer had been torn into pieces.
The grandfather was quite happy at the monkey’s adventures.
After this it was decided that Toto would be transferred to the cage where
other animals such as a tortoise, a pair of rabbits, a tame squirrel and, narrator’s
pet goat lived amiably. But Toto would create trouble for all of them.
The grandfather had to go to Saharanpur to collect his
pension. He decided to take Toto along in a big canvas bag. Since there was no
opening in the bag to allow his hands or face to come out, he would often jump
inside the bag, making the bag look like as if there was a spirit in it.
As soon as the train reached Saharanpur, Toto scared the
ticket-collector by popping his head out of the bag and grinning at him. The
ticket-collector was annoyed at the discovery and asserted that the grandfather
would have to pay for Toto’s fare. The ticket-collector assumed Toto to be a
dog and would not listen to the grandfather’s argument that it was not a dog.
Once the grandmother accepted Toto, he was shifted to stable
where, Nana, the family donkey lived. Toto could not get along with Nana as
well.
Toto loved to take bath in hot water in winter in the same
manner as the narrator would do. He would first check the hotness of water
before jumping into the hot water bowl.
