The Adventures of Toto

Grandfather bought toto a from a tonga driver for the sum of five rupees. The tonga driver used to keep the little rad monkey  tied to a feeding trough and the monkey looked so out of place there that Grandfather decidsd he would add the little fellow to his private zoo.

Toto was a pretty monkey . his bright eyes sparklsd with mischief beneath deep set eyebrows, and his his teeth which were a pearly white were very often displayed in a smils that frightened the life out of elderly angio Indian ladies. 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  [ Grand father belived a tail would add to anyone good looks ] also served as a third hand . He could use it to hang from a branch and it was capadle of scooping up any delicacy that minght be out of rach of his hands.Grabdmother always fussed when Grandfather brought home some new bird or animal. So it was decided that Toto presence should be keot a secret be kept a secret from her until she was in a particlarly good mood. Grandfather and I put him away in a little closet opening into my bedroom wall where he was tied securely bor so we thought to a peg fastened into the wall. A few hours later when grandfather and I came back to releasae 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 biazer which had been hanging there was in shreds. I wondered what Grandmother would say .But Grandfather did worry he seemed pleased with toto performance.
