Quote #10
Kala Nag saw [Little Toomai], caught him in his trunk, and handed him up to Big Toomai, who slapped him then and there, and put him back on the post. (11.14)
Big Toomai is not happy that Little Toomai is doing a good job. This sounds counter-intuitive, but father has asked son to not be good at his job so that he doesn't get taken away by Petersen Sahib. Little Toomai betrays his father by being resourceful.
