Answer:- The conductor called Valli “madam" as she behaved like a grown up and did not think that she was a child. She also refused his help and told him that she can manage on her own.

Valli thoruoghly enjoyed her ride in the bus. The following lines from the text tell us about it. She saw many things on her way -a canal ,palm trees , grassland,distant mountains. “Oh ! it was all so wonderful," that's what se felt. “Sometimes the bus seemed on the point of gobbling up another vehicle that was coming towards them as a pedestrian crossing the road. Somehow it passed smoothly. leaving all obstacles behind and then she saw a cow running very first, in front of the bus. 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?
āϞিāĻ–āĻ•ে āϘāϟāύাāĻŦোā§° āφāĻ  āĻŦāϛ⧰ীāϝ়া āĻ›োā§ąাāϞীā§° āĻĻৃāώ্āϟি āĻ­ংāĻ—ীā§°ে āϞিāĻ–িāĻ›িāϞ। āĻĒাāĻ āϟিāϤ āĻāχ āĻ•্āώেāϤ্ā§°āϤ āĻ•ি āωāĻĻাāĻšā§°āĻŖ āĻĒাāχāĻ›া?
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.
