Answer:

THERE was a girl named Valliammai who was called Valli for short. She was eight years old and very curious about things. Her favourite pastime was standing in the front doorway of her house, watching what was happening in the street outside. There were no playmates of her own age on her street, and this was about all she had to do.But for Valli, standing at the front door was every bit as enjoyable as any of the elaborate games other children played. Watching the street gave her many new unusual experiences.The most fascinating thing of all was the bus that travelled between her village and the nearest town. It passed through her street each hour, once going to the town and once coming back. The sight of the bus, filled each time with a new set of passengers, was a source of unending joy for Valli.Even though she couldn’t play with friends, looking at the outside affairs was just as entertaining. She learned a lot of new things in the process and the best part was the arrival and departure of the bus that routed from her village to a nearby town. The bus crossed the village street at hourly intervals, once while going to the town and the other, while coming back. Just gazing at the bus filled with a new set of passengers every time it crossed the street, gave Valli lasting excitement and joy. Day after day she watched the bus, and gradually a tiny wish crept into her head and grew there: she wanted to ride on that bus, even if just once. This wish became stronger and stronger, until it was an overwhelming desire. Valli would stare wistfully at the people who got on or off the bus when it stopped at the street corner. Their faces would kindle in her longings, dreams, and hopes. If one of her friends happened to ride the bus and tried to describe the sights of the town to her, Valli would be too jealous to listen and would shout, in English: “Proud! proud!” Neither she nor her friends really understood the meaning of the word, but they used it often as a slang expression of disapproval.After continuously watching the bus arrive and depart for a couple of days, even she wished to take a ride on it just once. Soon, the wish grew stronger and became a desire which means that there was now more longing to travel in the bus. She would be fascinated by looking at people's faces who would step out of the bus. Her desire grew to the extent that she would be jealous if any of her friends would go by bus and recite their experiences. Upon listening to them, she would exclaim, “Proud!, Proud!”. Neither she nor her friends knew the actual meaning of  the word ‘proud’, but would use it in order to express disapproval.
