Question
Why does grandfather take Toto to Saharanpur and how?
Why does the ticket collector insist on calling Toto a dog?
Answer
Grandfather had to go to Saharanpur to collect his pension and decided to take Toto along because Toto was too mischievous to be left home alone or with other animals. He took Toto in a big black canvas kit-bag with some straw at the bottom, which was strong enough to prevent Toto from escaping or biting through it.
The ticket collector insisted on calling Toto a dog because there was no fixed fare for a monkey in the railway rulebook. To charge a fare, he categorized Toto as a four-legged animal or a dog.
