What does Valli tell the elderly man when he calls her a child?

Hint: The protagonist of this narrative is Valli, an eight-year-old girl who lives near a bus stop in a village. Valli gets a strong desire to ride the bus. To raise enough money for the two-way fair, she would have to cut back on her spending.

Complete answer:
"Madam Rides the Bus" is a storey of a brave eight-year-old girl who had a strong ambition and the bravery to pursue it. Her favourite aspect of the street was watching the hustle and bustle, as well as watching a bus arrive and depart. As a result, she developed a strong urge to travel by bus. Before her mother awoke from her afternoon nap, she needed all kinds of information about the bus route, as well as to collect the bus fare and plan her return home. As a result, the storey tells us about how she gratified her deepest need in a harmless yet responsible manner, as well as her bus travel adventures.
What brings her to the realisation that death is a fact is an occurrence.

Valli considered herself to be a mature and grown-up young lady. When the elderly guy labelled her a child, she responded that there were no children on the bus and that she had paid the full cost of thirty paise, just like everyone else.

Note: Madam Rides the Bus was written by Vallikkannan. The storey follows an eight-year-old girl on her first exhilarating bus ride outside of her hamlet, into a new and different world. Her adventures across the world have taught her a lot about life and death. The moral of the storey is that we should listen to our elders and other people's advice from time to time.
