Solution
Valli didn't want to go to the stall because she had saved only sixty paise for the trip. She had no spare money. So, when the conductor suggested that she get down and have a drink, she refused. He offered to bring a cold drink for her free of charge but she still refused. This shows that Valli was self-respecting and did not want to take anything for free and it also shows that though Valli was confident enough to take the bus ride by herself, she was still afraid of leaving the bus and going into an unfamiliar space like the town. She had taken the bus with the only intention of experiencing a bus ride and was not keen to try out anything else.
