Question 44

Read carefully the passage given below and answer the questions (a), (b) and (c) that
follow.
 Grandfather bought Toto from a tonga-driver for the sum of five rupees. The
tonga-driver
used to keep the little red monkey tied to a feeding-trough, and the monkey looked so out of
place there that Grandfather decided he would add the little fellow to his private z00.
Toto was a pretty monkey. His bright eyes sparkled with mischief beneath deep-set
eyebrows, and his teeth were a pearly white. But his hands looked dried-up as though they
had been pickled in the sun for many years. Yet his fingers were quick and wicked; and his
tail, while adding to his good looks also served as a third hand. He could use it to hang from a
branch, and it was capable of scooping up any delicacy that might be out of reach of his
hands.

Grandmother always fussed when Grandfather brought home some new bird or animal. So, it
was decided that Toto's presence should be kept a secret from her until she was in a
particularly good mood. We put him away in a little closet opening into my bedroom wall,
where he was tied securely or so we thought-to a peg fastened into the wall. A few
hours later, when Grandfather and I came back to release Toto, we found that the walls,
which had been covered with some ornamental paper, now stood out as naked brick and
plaster. The peg in the wall had been wrenched from its socket, and my school blazer, which
had been hanging there, was in shreds.
I wondered what Grandmother would say. But Grandfather didn't wory; he seemed pleased
with Toto's performance. "He's clever," said Grandfather. His presence in the house still a
secret, Toto was now transferred to a big cage in the servants quarters where a number of
Grandfather's pets li'ved very sociably together a tortoise, a pair ofrabbits, a tame squirrel
and, for a while, my pet goat. But the monkcy wouldn't allow any of his companions to sleep
at night, so, Grandfather, who had to leave Dehra Dun next day to collect his pension in
Saharanpur, decided to take him along.

Unfortunately, I could not accompany Grandfather on that trip, but he told me about it
afterwards. A big black canvas kit-bag was provided for Toto. This, with some straw at the
bottom, became his new abode. When the bag was closed, there was no escape. Toto could
not get his hands through the opening, and the canvas was too strong for him to bite his way
through. Toto remained in the bag as far as Saharanpur, but while Grandfather was producing
his ticket at the railway turnstile, Toto suddeniy poked his head out of the bag and gave the
ticket collector a wide grin. The poor man was taken aback; but, with great presence of mind
and much to Grandfather's annoyance, he said, "Sir, you have a dog with you. You'1l have to
pay for it accordingly."

In vain did Grandfather take Toto out of the bag and try to prove that a monkey did not
qualify as a dog, or even as a quadruped. Toto was classified a dog by the ticket-collector,
and three rupees was the sum handed over as his fare.

When Toto was finally accepted by Grandmother, he was given a comfortable home in the
stable, where he had for a companion the family donkey, Nana.
A great treat for Toto during cold winter evenings was the large bowM of warm water given to
him by Grandmother for his bath. He would cunningly test the temperature with his hand,
then gradually step into the bath, first one foot, then the other (as he had seen me doing), until
he was into the water up to his neck. Once comfortable, he would take the soap in his hands
or feet, and rub himself all over. When the water became cold, he would get out and run as
 quickly as he could to the kitchen-fire in order to dry himself. If anyone laughed at him
during this performance, Toto's feelings would be hurt and he would refuse to go on with his
bath.

One day Toto nearly succecded in boiling himself alive. A large kitchen kettle had been left
on the fire to boil for tea and Toto, finding himself with nothing better to do, decided to
remove the lid. Finding the water just warm enough for a bath, he got in, with his head
sticking out from the open kettle. This was just fine for a while, until the water began to boil.
Toto then raised himself a little; but, finding it cold outside, sat down again. He continued
hopping up and down for some time, until Grandmother arived and hauled him, half-boiled,
out of the kettle.

a) i) Given below are four words or phrases. Find the words which have a similar
meaning in the passage
1) dislodged
2) amiably
3) lifted

i)For each of the words given below, write a sentence of at least 10 words using the same
word, unchanged in form but with a different meaning from that which it carries in the
passage. 31
1) leave
2) trip
3) stable

b). Answer the following questions briefly.

1 How did Toto come to be a part of Grandfather's private zoo? 121
2 How did Toto use his tail to his advantage? (21
3 ldentify and write down two lines from the passage where the author has ascribed
human qualities to Toto.
12

c)) In not more than 100 words, describe how Toto bathed himself on cold winter evenings:
include how he once almost boiled himself alive.
Your answer should be in a single, numbered grid of 5 columns and 20 rows. Begin
on a new page.
