Detailed explanation-1: -The conductor initially told Valli that as she has paid for the ticket, she should sit. When she refused, he told her that she might fall and hurt herself when the bus takes a sharp turn.
Detailed explanation-2: -Valli stands up on the seat to enjoy the outside scenery from the moving bus. Her view was blocked by a canvas blind that covered the lower part of the window. In order to have a better view of the outside scenery, she stood up on the seat and peered over the blind.
Detailed explanation-3: -Valli didn’t want to go to the stall because she had saved only sixty paise for the trip. She had no spare money. So, when the conductor suggested that she get down and have a drink, she refused. He offered to bring a cold drink for her free of charge but she still refused.
Detailed explanation-4: -Valli’s fascination for the bus ride compelled her to board the bus to the town just for the sake of riding it. Being a little kid, she found the town too big, crowded and glittering. Moreover, she had no money to buy anything. So, she did not get down at the town.
