The narrator jumped with joy because at last he got a job and he could earn money for his survival.
EXPLANATION:
A narrator is a young man who comes to Delhi from Calcutta in search of a job. In his journey, he met a shoe polish boy who asked him to get his shoes polished. The narrator told the boy that he could not afford it. He asked the boy how much he earns on a daily basis.
He also told him that he could not get a job in Delhi and told that he wished to work as a shoe polish boy. The boy said that he should get materials like a brush, cream, box, and stuff and also said that he should convince his friends from the shoeshine’s union.
The boy asked him to meet at night and when they met the boy he told him that he convinced his friends and he can work as a shoe polish boy from the next day. The narrator literally jumped in joy because he could earn some money at last. He had only five rupees by that time and the boy also told that they would help in buying materials for the shoe polish box he could return the money later.
