why did valli say that her first journey was painstaking ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Valli says that her first bus journey was painstaking as she had to save up sixty paise by suppressing her want to ride the merry go round and other things(This part you can refer from the book and write the other things she did to save the money).She had to save every paise that came her way.

She had to plan and re plan, calculate and recalculate again and again. This all seemed painstaking to Valli.
