what arrangements were made for baba …

Once baba had returned home, coolies were engaged for special work in the narrator's compound. An island was made for Baba. It was twenty feet long and fifteen feet wide, and was surrounded by a dry pit, or moat, six feet wide and seven feet deep. A wooden box that once housed fowls was brought and put on the island for Baba to sleep in at night. Straw was placed inside to keep him warm, and his stump, along with piece of bamboo, both of which had been sentimentally preserved since he had been sent away to the zoo, were put back for him to play with.
Baba was brought back home as the narrator's wife was extremely sad without Baba's presence at home and even Baba was unhappy sitting in a cage with no company. He also dearly missed everyone at home. The wife, the narrator nor the currator could handle to see Baba in such a state. The wife pleaded the currator to allow Baba to return home. The currator had obliged and allowed the family to take Baba back home.
