Question

why does the author say, ''toto was not. the sort of pet we could keep for long"?​

Answer 1

The author said that toto was not a pet to be kept for long. Toto was a very mischievious and destructive monkey. He scraped the wallpaper, pulled the peg out of the wall, torn the school blazer and curtains, broke the dishes, etc. The family could not afford the frequent loss of all these things.

Also Toto disturbed and teased all the other animals in the servants quarters and Nana, the family Donkey.

As a result grandfather realised that toto could not be a part of his private zoo. He found the tonga driver and sold toto back for only 3 rupees that is at a loss .

Author’s statement about Toto proves itself if we take Toto’s misdeeds into consideration. Nobody could afford the frequent losses. He disturbed all other animals too. Obviously Toto was not the sort of pet we could keep for long.
