Why does the author say, “Toto was not the sort of pet we could keep for long”?
Solution and Explanation
Although Toto was pretty and shrude, he was very mischievous. He brought a lot of chaos to the house by breaking dishes and tearing clothes and curtains. He also terrified the visitors by tearing holes in their dresses.
Furthermore, he didn’t get along well with other animals in the house too. One day Toto crossed the limits by picking up a dish of pullao and running on a branch to eat it.
When scolded he threw off the plate and broke it. That is when Grandfather decided he had had enough of Toto as he couldn’t bear the losses that he accumulated because of Toto’s mischief.
