Questions / Answers

Describe:

(a) How the frogs entered the fountain and the house.

Ans: When the author introduced some fish into the fountain he didn’t notice that
there were tadpoles in the bucket. They grew into frogs, multiplied quickly and
began to enter the house.

(b) Where the frogs were finally sent and why.

Ans: The frogs were rounded up and sent to a pond near the railway station. They
entered the station and created a nuisance there. So, finally, they were sent to the
Lucknow zoo by the station superintendent.

5. When Aunt Mabel saw the frog in the pot, how did she react? Do think she
was just being silly?

Ans: When Aunt Mabel saw the frog in the pot she screamed loudly and created a
lot of commotion at home. She overreacted to the situation and her behaviour was
rather silly for a grown-up person.

6. Pick out three sentences from the story that you think are funny.

(a) The bee incident. ‘It made for a very short speech.’

(b) Reference to Alzheimer’s

(c) The frog jumped out of the flush and into Aunt Mabel’s arms.

The answers will vary. The students should be encouraged to explain why
they think the sentences are funny.
