This all seemed very funny to Valli and she laughed till tears flowed from her eyes."

8. The author describes the things that Valli sees from an eight-years-old's point of view. Can you find evidence from the text for his statement?

Answer:- Yes, for example when the author says, “She was fascinated by the bus and watching the bus fill with a new set of people each time was a source of unending joy for her. When the author describes the bus he stresses on the colour look of the new bus like silver because a child is attracted towards colour. The seats cure soft and luxurious. The description that the author gives when Valli looked outside are also typical of an eight year old. The blue sky and acres of green field, shaw the enthusiasm a child. A cow running in front of the bus fascinated the child whereas the sight of dead cow brought tears in her eyes and she refused to look outside the window on her return journey. This also describes the behaviour of an eight year old child aptly.
