Answers
Answer:
Answer 22- Because he was to thin to be fit to the stake.
Answer 23 - Grandfather bought it from tonga driver in 5 rupees.
Answer 24 - The author says this because Toto was very mischievous and he he destroyed and spoiled the things. The author's family was not so rich to pay for the destruction caused by Toto. That's why they could not keep toto for a long time.
Answer 25 - The child sees toys, flowering mustard field, dragon flies, butterflies, doves, a huge crowd of people entering the fair, sweet shops, garlands of gulmohar, rainbow color balloons, a snake charmer and a roundabout swing. He lags behind because he is fascinated by the things that he sees on his way to the fair.
Answer 26 - When he wishes to get a ride on the roundabout and calls for his parents he gets no reply. Then the child realizes that he is lost and separated from his parents.
His anxiety has been described by explaining how the child reacts and tries to find his parents. This is a very natural explanation and the author has avoided using difficult allegory. This makes the narrative simple to read and enjoy.
The child looks to his front and back and left and right. Then the child tries to find his father among people wearing yellow shirts but all his glimpse could catch yellow blobs in the crowd. At last he goes to the shrine, in the hope of finding his parents there.
This shows that the child is quite courageous and instead of crying his heart out he tries to find his parents. He doesn’t concede defeat at first go.
