Explanation:

Grandfather loved the forest and animals. But he could not live in the forest all the time. For this, he kept a small private zoo in his house. Where he lived with his wife. Contrary to grandfather's nature, his wife i.e. grandmother never liked animals or grandfather's private zoo. But Grandfather did not listen to them and was always in search of animals. They also brought many animals that were defiant and damaged their household goods. But Grandfather endured everything and whenever such a situation came, he used to silently send the animal to its previous owner.
