Question
Why does the author say, “Toto was not the sort of pet we could keep for long”?
Answer
The author says this because Toto was extremely mischievous and destructive. He frequently tore curtains, clothes, and wallpaper, and broke expensive dishes. The family was not wealthy enough to afford the constant financial loss caused by his behavior. Finally, realizing that they could not handle his antics anymore, Grandfather sold Toto back to the tonga-driver for three rupees.
