Solution

In the statement, ‘I’ is the narrator of the story. Timothy had the habit of stalking anyone who would play with him. When the narrator went to live with Grandfather, he became Timothy’s favourite playmate. One of his games was to slowly creep towards the narrator and then suddenly make a dash for his feet, pretending to bite his ankles.
