The narrator tells us that he's been waiting for this moment. He's so happy that he can't wait to tell us all about it. He tells us about his childhood, his school, and his family. He asks about his ankle, which he sprained the first time he tried to walk. He says that he would have fallen down if he hadn't been carried by the grandfather. The grandfather tells him that his ankle is fine, but he needs to get a cold treatment. He also tells the narrator that the little boy is still alive and will soon be able to walk again. The narrator asks the grandfather why he didn't tell him about the engagement earlier, and the grandfather says that it was because he was ashamed of himself for wetting his pants.
