Test 1: The Adventures Of Toto - 1

Toto was a pretty monkey because his eyes were bright and sparkled with mischief beneath deep set eyebrows. His Teeth were white like pearls, were very often displayed in a smile. His fingers were quick. His tail added to his good looks.

The writer's grandfather liked to collect animals and had made a zoo at home. One day, he saw a red - coloured monkey tied to a trough with a tonga driver. He liked the monkey and wanted to add it to his collection. He bought Toto from the tonga driver for a sum of five rupees.

The tonga driver had tied the little red - coloured monkey to a feeding trough, so that he could not run away.

Toto was a pretty monkey because his eyes were bright and sparkled with mischief beneath deep set eyebrows. 

Its teeth, which were pearl white, were very often displayed in a smile that frightened the life out of elderly Anglo-Indian ladies.

The writer's grandfather thought that the tail added to the good looks of an animal. Toto's tail was like a third hand for him. It helped him hang from the branch of a tree. He also used it to lift objects which were beyond his hand's reach.

Grandmother always fussed when Grandfather brought home some new bird or animal. So it was decided that Toto’s presence should be kept a secret from her until she was in a particularly good mood. Grandfather and I put him away in a little closet opening into my bedroom wall, where he was tied securely — or so we thought — to a peg fastened into the wall.
