Mijbil's transportation to England was no less than a nightmare for the author. Justify the statement using incidents from the lesson. (Mijbil the Otter)
Official answer
From CBSE’s own marking scheme for this paper.
Mijbil was packed into a box not more than $\displaystyle 18$ inches square – felt
uncomfortable/injured, to be carried on the floor at the author’s feet in
the airplane
When the author got back after the meal, Mijbil had torn the lining of the
box to shreds.
In the aircraft, Mijbil was out of the box in a flash. He disappeared
at a high speed down the aircraft. There were squawks and shrieks.
It was an eventful journey for the author – could not take a direct
flight because pets were not allowed
