The Adventures of Toto, is a short story by eminent author Ruskin Bond, taken from his own life. It tells us of his Grandfathers deep love for all animals, and how he had his own "Private Zoo". One of the inhabitants of this zoo is a small red monkey named Toto. He is highly mischievous and curious, and causes all sorts of chaos.
The story is simple and keeps the reader/listener engaged with the flow of the story and the behaviour of the characters.

This story is part of the NCERT CBSE 9th grade curriculum. I remember having a different Ruskin Bond story, in maybe the 7th grade, where he adopts a tiger cub, and that tiger cub was harassed by a monkey named toto

Happy Listening :D
