Answers
Answer:
1.ans:- Toto takes a bath in the large bowl of warm warm water during cold winter evenings, given to him by Grandmother. He cunningly test the temperature of water with his hands, then gradually step into bath, first his one foot, then the other and then finally he went into the water up to his neck.
Toto was a monkey and monkeys are imitator. So, he has learnt to do this by imitating the author's way of talking bath.
2.ans:- One day, a large kitchen kettle had been left on the fire to boil for tea and Toto, finding himself with nothing better to do, decided to remove the lid. Finding the water just warm enough for a bath, he got in, with his head sticking out from the open kettle. This was just fine for a while, until the water began to boil. Toto then raised himself a little; but finding it cold outside, sat down again. He continued hoping up and down for sometime, until Grandmother arrived and hauled him, half-boiled, out of the kettle. In this manner, Toto almost boils himself alive.
