Detailed explanation-1: -She saw palm trees, grasslands, distant mountains and the vast blue sky. Acres of green fields stretched out as far as her eyes could see. The bus went past the railway station, the bright looking shops and through the busy crossroads.

Detailed explanation-2: -Valli discovered that the bus ride between her hamlet and the town, which was six miles distant, took 45 minutes. She also discovered that the one-way cost for the journey was thirty paise. She learned this information by listening to the passengers’ conversations and occasionally by questioning them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Valli enjoyed the nature’s beauty out of the bus window. She saw the bus going along the bank of a canal with the palm trees and mountains in the background and the blue sky. On the other side, she saw a deep ditch and large green fields spread across acres.

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.
