Madam Rides the Bus - Introduction
The lesson “Madam Rides the Bus” is about a brave eight year old who had a strong desire
and along with it, the courage to fulfil it. She liked gazing at the hustle and bustle of the
street and her favourite part was the sight of a bus arriving and departing. Thus, she
developed a deep desire to travel by bus. For that, she needed all sorts of information about
the bus journey, collect the bus fare and then plan it so that she could be back at home
before her mother woke up from her afternoon nap. Thus, the story brings us recounts of
how innocently but responsibly she fulfilled her deepest desire and her experiences on the
bus ride. How an incident makes her realize the reality of death.
