Summary ofThe Adventures of Toto
The Adventures of Toto by
Ruskin Bond is an amusing story highlighting the antics of a mischievous
monkey.
The narrator’s
grandfather bought Toto, a little red monkey from a tonga driver to add to his
collection of animals in his private zoo.
Toto was an attractive
monkey with sparkling eyes. He would take special delight in scaring elderly
Anglo-Indian ladies. Since grandmother was always averse to grandfather’s
collection of animals, he decided to keep the news about Toto hidden from her
until she was in better mood.
Toto was temporarily kept
in a closet that opened into the narrator’s bedroom. After a few hours of
keeping Toto in the closet, when the narrator and the grandfather came to see
Toto, they were in for a shock. Toto had torn the wallpaper; the peg with which
Toto had been bound, had been wrenched off the wall. The narrator’s school
blazer had been torn into pieces.
The grandfather was quite
happy at the monkey’s adventures. After this it was decided that Toto would be
transferred to the cage where other animals such as a tortoise, a pair of
rabbits, a tame squirrel and, narrator’s pet goat lived amiably. But Toto would
create trouble for all of them.
The grandfather had to go
to Saharanpur to collect his pension. He decided to take Toto along in a big
canvas bag. Since there was no opening in the bag to allow his hands or face to
come out, he would often jump inside the bag, making the bag look like as if
there was a spirit in it.
As soon as the train
reached Saharanpur, Toto scared the ticket-collector by popping his head out of
the bag and grinning at him. The ticket-collector was annoyed at the discovery
and asserted that the grandfather would have to pay for Toto’s fare. The
ticket-collector assumed Toto to be a dog and would not listen to the
grandfather’s argument that it was not a dog.
Once the grandmother
accepted Toto, he was shifted to stable where, Nana, the family donkey lived.
Toto could not get along with Nana as well.
Toto loved to take bath in hot water in winter in the same manner as the narrator would do. He would first check the hotness of water before jumping into the hot water bowl.
