- 7. Valli is a spirited eight-year-old whose chief qualities are curiosity, determination and independence. Fascinated by the world beyond her village, she longs to ride the town bus, and rather than simply asking for help she patiently saves small coins over time, denying herself fairs and toys to reach her goal — showing great self-discipline. On the journey she is observant, drinking in every sight, and fiercely self-respecting: she politely but firmly refuses the conductor's treats and the offers of help from fellow passengers because she wants to do everything herself and be treated as a grown-up. Yet she is also sensitive, being genuinely moved by the sight of a dead cow on the road. Valli thus combines a child's eager curiosity with surprising maturity and dignity.
