Read the following extract and answer the following questions:
A. 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 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 her town to her, Valli would be too jealous to listen and would shout,
in English: “Proud! Proud!”
