$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{Answer:-}}}}}$

Toto was a very mischievous monkey. He would tear things into pieces. When one of author’s aunts would come near him, he would try and tear a hole in her dress. One day, Toto was found stuffing himself with pullao. When author’s grandmother screamed, Toto threw a plate at her. He then picked up the dish of pullao and made his exit through a window. In order to spite grandmother, who had screamed at him, he threw the dish down from the tree and chattered with delight when it broke into a hundred pieces.

Author’s family was not a well-to-do one. They could not afford the frequent loss of dishes, clothes, curtains and wallpaper. That is why the author says, “Toto was not the sort of pet we could keep for long”.
