Explanation:
The lesson “Madam Rides the Bus” is about a brave eight year old who had a strong desire and along with it, the courage to fulfill it. She liked gazing at the hustle and bustle of the street and her favourite part was the sight of a bus arriving and departing. Thus, she developed a deep desire to travel by bus. For that, she needed all sorts of information about the bus journey, collect the bus fare and then plan it so that she could be back at home before her mother woke up from her afternoon nap. Thus, the story brings us recounts of how innocently but responsibly she fulfilled her deepest desire and her experiences on the bus ride. How an incident makes her realize the reality of death.
Answer:
Valli was really excited. After all, it was her first bus journey. She devoured everything with her eyes. When she started to look outside, her view was cut off by a canvas blind. She stood up on the seat and peered over the blind. She watched the bus passing along the bank of a canal. She saw palm trees, grasslands, distant mountains and the vast blue sky. Acres of green fields stretched out as far as her eyes could see. The bus went past the railway station, the bright looking shops and through the busy crossroads. One funny scene cheered her. A young cow ran in front of the bus. She was just in the middle of the road. The more the driver honked, the more frightened the cow became. Valli laughed till tears were in her eyes.
However, another sight dampened her enthusiasm and spirits. The same cow which looked so lovable and beautiful a while ago was lying dead beside the road. It was a horrible sight. It looked quite frightening. It was lying, its legs spread out, a fixed stare in its lifeless eyes and blood around it. The image of the dead cow haunted her, dampening her spirits and making her sad. A fast running vehicle had struck her dead. Now, the same cow was looking so horrible and frightening that Valli stopped looking outside.
Valli’s journey to the city is also her introduction into the mystery of life and death. She learnt that death is inevitable to all. Anyone born on this earth is bound to death and that it is something the mystery of life lies into. Though she was too small to understand the entire concept of this mystery, she atleast knew this much from her experiences now!
