Detailed explanation-1: -Answers. The ticket collector was following his rule book. As there seems to be no rule for fixing a monkey’s fare, he equated Toto with a dog. And as a result, he charged 3 rupees for Toto.
Detailed explanation-2: -Toto was classified a dog by the ticket-collector; and three rupees was the sum handed over as his fare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Q22. How did the ticket collector learn about the presence of Toto? Toto’s presence in the bag remained hidden until the journey to Saharanpur. But when Grandfather was getting his ticket checked at the railway turnstile, Toto peeped out of the bag and grinned at the ticket collector.
Detailed explanation-4: -Grandfather was unsuccessful in explaining to the ticket collector that Toto was a monkey and not a dog. He insisted that Toto was not even an animal with four feet. But the ticket collector was firm that Toto fell in the category of dogs. Grandfather had to pay 3 rupees for Toto’s ticket.
