How does Toto take a bath? Where has he learnt to do this? How does Toto almost boil himself alive? (CBSE SA-I, 2011)

Total had learnt the art of taking a bath by seeing the author while bathing. The grandmother would give Toto a bowl of warm water for his bath in the winters. To test the temperature, he would first immerse his hand and then gradually step into it foot by foot. He would get inside it up to the level of his neck. After being comfortable in the water he would take soap in his hands and feet and rub himself. When the water would become cold he would get out and run to the kitchen fire to dry himself.

One day a large kitchen kettle was left on the fire to boil water for tea. Having nothing else to do Toto removed the lid of the kettle and jumped into it. He stood in it for a while but when the water started to boil he rose from the vessel. He found the outside weather to be cold, he sat back again. He kept popping in and out until the grandmother came to the spot and hauled him out of the kettle.
