How did Valli plan her visit to the town ? Explain.
Answer – Valli carefully planned her visit to the town by collecting all the necessary information about the bus journey. She listened to the conversations of people who regularly travelled by bus and learned that the town was six miles away. The bus fare was thirty paise for one way, and the journey took about forty-five minutes. She calculated that she would need sixty paise for the return journey. She saved this amount by controlling her desire to buy toys, peppermints, balloons and other tempting things. She also chose the afternoon time when her mother usually took a nap, so that she could go to the town and return without anyone noticing. Thus, Valli planned her trip very carefully by finding out the fare, distance, travel time and suitable time for the journey, and by saving enough money for both ways.
