How does Toto take a bath? Where has he learnt to do
this? How does Toto almost boil himself alive?
Answers
A large bowl of warm water was given to Toto for his bath. He would
cunningly test the temperature of water with his hand before stepping
into the bowl. He would then gradually step into the bowl. Once
comfortable, he would take the soap and rub it all over himself using
his hands or his feet. When the water became cold, he would get out
and run quickly to the kitchen fire in order to dry himself. Toto
learnt to do so as he had seen the narrator do the same.
Once, a large kitchen kettle had been left on the fire to boil for tea.
Toto removed the lid and found the water warm enough for a bath. He
quickly got into the kettle with only his head popping out. When the
water began to boil, Toto raised himself a little. However, finding
it cold outside, he sat down again. He continued hopping up and down
for sometime until grandmother took him out. By this time Toto had
almost boiled himself alive.

Answer:
Toto cunningly tested the temperature with his hand then gradually stepped into the bath. He stepped first one foot, then the other, until he was into the water up to his neck. He rubbed himself all over with the soap. He learned it all from the author. Some day Toto got in a large kitchen kettle which was on fire to boil. He enjoyed the warm water but when the water turned out to be hot he jumped up and down. Suddenly the grandmother arrived at and pulled him out in half-boiled condition.
