Adventures of Toto 2
Текст Раскадровки
- A great treat for Toto during cold winter evenings was the warm water given him by Grandmother for his bath. He would test the temperature with his hand, then step into the bath, one foot then the other until he was into the water up to his neck.Once comfortable, he would take the soap 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 to dry himself.
- A large kitchen bowl had been left on the fire to boil water and Toto ; with nothing better to do, he got in, with his head sticking out from the open kettle.This was fine for a while, until the water began to boil. Toto raised himself a little; but, finding it cold outside, sat down again. He continued hopping up and down for some time, until Grandmother arrived and hauled him, half-boiled, out of the kettle.
- One day, at lunchtime, a large dish of rice was kept on the table. They entered the room to find Toto stuffing himself with rice. Grandmother screamed — and Toto threw a plate at her. One of the aunts rushed forward — and was greeted with a glass of water in her face. When Grandfather arrived, Toto picked up the dish of rice and made his exit through a window.
- They found him in the branches of the tree. He remained there all afternoon, eating slowly through the rice And then, in order to spite Grandmother, who had screamed at him, he threw the dish down from the tree, and it broke into a hundred pieces.
- Toto was not the sort of pet they could keep for long. Even Grandfather realised that. They were not well-to-do, and could not afford the frequent loss of dishes, clothes, curtains and wallpaper. So Grandfather found the tonga-driver, and sold Totoback to him — for only three rupees.
