Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The conductor of the bus was quite friendly and a jolly natured man. He was fond of joking. He was helpful and caring towards Valli.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: (a) All the passengers were laughing as they were amused at her remark of being grown up. (b) She was going on a bus journey, just to fulfil her dream, i.e., to travel to town and come back on the same bus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Valli did not want to go to the stall and have a drink because she did not have any money for that. Even when the conductor offered her a cold drink free of charge, she refused firmly and said that she only wanted her ticket. This shows that Valli had a lot of self will and pride.
Detailed explanation-4: -The conductor called Valli ‘madam’ because of her behaviour when the conductor tried to help her. The conductor tried to help Valli get on the bus. For doing so he stretched out his hand. Valli, on the other hand, behaved like a mature woman and said that she can help herself to get on the bus.
