On the following day, Jacob again went to the library before going to coal mine with this hope that today he would get that book. After reaching at the library, he asked the librarian about the same book he was asking the previous day.

Jacob looked at book and answered very happily,” Yes, Yes …! This is the book I want”.
He was very delighted to see that book. By fulfilling terms and conditions, librarian gave that book to the Jacob. At this moment finally the book was in Jacob’s hands. Further Jacob took the book with him and returned to his home. By entering the room, Jacob immediately opened the book. The book seemed so much adventurous by the pictures but Jacob didn’t get the language of the book. He thought from whom he should talk about this. Later he went to his room owner and asked him about the book’s language.
Room owner saw the book for some time and start thinking something.
“What happened uncle. Do you know about the language written in this book ?”asked Jacob.
“Hm.. I am remembering that one of my friend taught me about this language once”.
“So you can tell me what is written in it.”
“Actually I just able to recognize that what is this language. Nothing else.”said room owner.
“oh..Okay” said Jacob in low voice.
“But why are you asking these questions. What is in this book.” inquired room owner.

Jacob began back to his room sadly but instantaneously his room owner gave him a voice. Jacob stopped and the room owner said,” I can help you. My Friend who taught me this language, I will give you the address of him. If you want to meet him you can go.”
Jacob felt happy and thanked his room owner. He thought,” this is the only ray of hope. I feel maybe this time everything will be fine.”
Room owner searched his friend’s address. In due course he gave Jacob the address of his friend. Jacob decided to go and met the room owner’s friend in the upcoming weekend. As weekends were the only time when he got some free time.
On the weekend, Jacob went at that address his room owner gave to him. He reached there and rang the door bell. One old man opened the door and asked,” Yes, how can I help you?”
