Sir! I was looking to sell this monkey. He was once my pet but he was too annoying for me. Are you interested?
It was a Sunday morning. Grandfather was on a walk and sat down for a bit. He saw a tonga-driver on the nearby street and could also hear the sounds of a monkey. He got curious and went to the street.
Grandfather walked upto the tonga driver and asked Sir what is a monkey doing here with you? . He replied Sir! I was looking to sell this monkey. He was once my pet but he was too annoying for me. Are you interested? . Grandfather thought about it thinking he could add it to his zoo at home and answered I will buy it. How much is it for? 5 rupees . He handed over the money and took the monkey home. He named it TOTO.

Toto was a pretty monkey. His bright eyes sparkled with mischief beneath the deep-set eyebrows, and his pearly white teeth, often displayed in a smile that frightened the life out of elderly Anglo-Indian ladies. But his hands looked driedup as though they had been pickled in the sun. His tail also added to his looks.

In order to hide Toto from Grandmother, they put Toto in the closet where he was tied securely or so they thought. But after a few hours when they returned, Toto had torn the blazer, ruined the walls and caused a mess. Given time, he have tied the torn pieces of your blazer into a rope, and escaped from the window.
Grandfather had to leave Dehra Dun next day to collect his pension in Saharanpur, decided to take Toto along. A big black canvas kit-bag was provided for Toto. While Grandfather was producing his ticket at the railway turnstile, Toto suddenly poked his head out of the bag and gave the ticket collector a wide grin. The ticket collector said Sir you have a dog with you, you will have to pay for it .
Grandfather tried to convince the ticket collector that Toto was not a dog but in vain he had to pay for Toto as well.
