Detailed explanation-1: -Ans. Gavin Maxwell, the author, wanted to own a pet. His pet dog had died recently and he was feeling too sad to think of keeping a dog as a pet again. So when he travelled to Southern Iraq, he decided to keep an otter instead of a dog.
Detailed explanation-2: -His friend suggested that he should get one from the Tigris marshes in Iraq, where otters were as common as mosquitoes. After a few days he got an otter brought to him in a sack as a gift from his friend.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hint: The question is from the chapter ‘Mijbil the Otter’ written by Gavin Maxwell. The moral of this lesson is that life without a pet is lonely. The story’s theme is about the bond between a pet and its owner.
Detailed explanation-4: -His friend had bought the otter for him and sent it to the place where he was staying. The author liked it and this is evident from this use of words like ‘a thraldom to otters’, and ‘an otter fixation’. Was this answer helpful?
