Read the passage and answer the question.
The great day came and I flew over to London Airport to collect the ape. My one fear now
was that when I arrived there it would turn out to be a chimpanzee after all. The dealer met
me and escorted me to a room in the animal shelter of the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. He threw open the door, and the first thing I saw was a couple of baby
chimpanzees sitting on a table meditatively chewing bananas. My heart sank, and I had
visions of having to go back to Jersey empty-handed. But the dealer walked over to a crate
in the corner and opened the door, and N’Pongo walked into my life.
He stood about eighteen inches high and was quite the most handsome and healthy looking
baby gorilla I had ever seen. He strolled stockily across the room towards me and then held
up his arms to be lifted up. I was amazed at how heavy he was for his size, and soon realized
that this was all solid bone and muscle; there was not a spare ounce of fat on him. His lightchocolate-coloured fur was thick and soft, and the skin on his hands, feet, and face was soft
and glossy as patent leather. His eyes were small and deep-set, twinkling like chips of coal.
He lay back in my arms and studied me carefully with an unwinking stare, and then lifted a
fat and gentle forefinger and investigated my beard. I tickled his ribs and he wriggled about
in my arms, giggling hoarsely, his eyes shining with amusement. I sat him down on a
convenient table and handed him a banana, which he accepted with little bear-like growlings
of pleasure, and ate very daintily compared to the chimpanzees, who were stuffing their
mouths as full as they could. I wrote on the cheque and then we bundled N’Pongo – growling
protests – back into the crate, and went off to catch the plane for Jersey.
Q) N’Pongo was as curious about the narrator as the latter was about the baby gorilla. Justify
this statement by referring to N’Pongo’s actions.
