Find the lines in the text which tell you that Valli was enjoying her ride on the bus.
The bus ride thoroughly enjoyed by Valli. The following lines from the text tell us about it. A canal, palm trees, grasslands, distant mountains were seen by her on the way.“Oh! it was so wonderful,” that’s what she felt. “Sometimes the bus seemed to take another vehicle that was coming towards them or the road crossed. Somehow it smoothly passed away, all obstacles were left behind and a cow was seen by her who was running very fast, in the middle of the road, in front of the bus. This all looked very funny to Valli and she laughed a lot till tears came from her eyes.”
