ticket collector insist on calling Toto a dog? Or How did
grandfather take Toto to Saharanpur? Answer Toto wouldn’t
allow any of his companions to sleep at night. So, grandfather decided to
take Toto to Saharanpur to provide some relief to other animals in the zoo.
Toto was kept in a canvas bag that was too strong for Toto to bite and he
could not get his hands out through the opening in the bag. The ticket collector insisted on
calling Toto a dog because he did not have any fixed fare for a monkey. The
monkey could not be charged as a human being. So, he decided to categorize it
as a dog and charge accordingly. |
