Detailed explanation-1: -The fare was thirty paise one way-“which is almost nothing at all, ” she heard one well-dressed man say, but to Valli, who scarcely saw that much money from one month to the next, it seemed a fortune.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: No, I dont think that Valli did the right thing in travelling alone to the town without informing her mother. By doing this, she put herself in a vulnerable position as she could have easily been a victim of child abuse had she come in contact with wrong people. In fact, she was lucky to return home safety.
Detailed explanation-3: -Valli pretended to be confident in front of the conductor when he offered her help to ride the bus. This shows her confidence and independent nature. She enjoys every bit of her journey to the town. The elderly woman who was sitting beside Valli in the bus looked absolutely repulsive to Valli.
Detailed explanation-4: -Valli thoroughly enjoyed her ride to the town, and laughed and clapped when the young cow ran in the middle of the road in front of the bus. But her enjoyable bus ride became a nightmare on her return journey. She saw the same cow lying dead on the road. This sight haunted her, dampened her spirits, and saddened her.
