    Personification and a surprise ending

    The use of "Timothy" implies that Grandfather is merely taking his grandson to the zoo; however, the twist ending is that Timothy is a tiger. Suddenly the reason "no one would share a compartment with them" is all too clear - - no one would want to share a compartment with a large tiger.
