Question

Compare Montmorency and Toto (class 9)

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

Answer:

Though Toto was a pretty animal but he created problems, one after the other. He disturbed other animals in the zoo. When taken inside the home, he kept destroying all the household items. He damaged dishes, clothes, curtains and wallpapers. Finally, grandfather realized that Toto was not the sort of pet they could keep for long. Therefore, he sold him back to the tonga-driver only for three rupees.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\mathtt\red{answer \: ⬇}$

Toto was kept in a canvas bag that was too strong for Toto to bite and he could not get his hands out through the opening in the bag. When Toto poked its head out of the bag at Saharanpur station, the ticket collector was taken aback on seeing the monkey’s face peeping out of the bag. He called Toto a dog and asked grandfather to pay for its travel. Perhaps, he called Toto a dog as the monkey was a four-legged animal who did not qualify the category of human beings. Even after repeated explanations by grandfather, the ticket collector charged him for the monkey by calling it a dog.
