Madam Rides the Bus
What did Valli find out about the bus journey? How did she find out these details?
Valli found out that she needed sixty paise for the two way fare of the bus. The trip to the town would take forty-five minutes. She could return home on the same bus. Accordingly, she contemplated that she could take the one-o’clock afternoon bus that reaches the town at one forty-five. So, she would be back home by about two forty-five.
She found out these details by listening carefully to conversations between her neighbours and people who regularly used the bus.
