Madam Rides the Bus
The story, Madam Rides the Bus illustrates the sensitive story of a young eight-year-old Tamil girl Valliammai. Valli was always curious to explore the outside world. She had no friends to play games with. So, her favourite pastime was to stand on the doorway of her house and watch all that was happening on the street outside. She would watch people get on and off the bus that travelled between her village and the nearest town. The bus that was filled with a new set of passengers filled her with a sense of unending joy. She had a strong urge to take a bus ride to explore the adventurous bus journey. Hence, she collected information about the bus timings by listening to the conversations of the people taking the bus ride. Soon she learnt that the bus journey from her village to the nearest town was approximately six miles. The bus fare cost thirty paise for a one way ride. So, Valli started saving enough money to take a ride on the bus.
