Text z Príbehu
- The narrator, Ruskin bonds grandfather was a animal lover
- His grandmother was troubled with the arrival of his new animal
- Grandfather buys Toto, the monkey from a Tonga Driver
- Okay
- I will have u this monkey For 5 rupees
- Toto was a pretty monkey. His bright eyes sparkled with mischief beneath deep-set eyebrows, and his teeth, which were pearly white, were very often displayed in a smile that frightened the life out of elderly Anglo-Indian ladies.
- 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. Grandfather and I put him away in a little closet opening into my bedroom wall, where he was tied securely
- 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 chosen by Grandfather, 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 wonder what Grand Mother would say.
- He’s clever,” said Grandfather. “Given time, I’m sure he couldhave tied the torn pieces of your blazer into a rope, and made hisescape from the window
- 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 lived very sociably together — a tortoise, a pair of rabbits, a tame squirrel and, for a while, my pet goat.
