When Franz came to know that it was going to be his teacher's last lesson, he was shocked and dumbstruck. He knew very well that he did not know anything about his language. He was regretting for not paying proper attention to his study. He understood why so many villagers had come there. They were sitting in his class to thank him for his faithful service of 40 years.

The teacher asked him about the rules of participles but he could not tell. The teacher did not rebuke him. He blamed everybody. He blamed the people for putting off the things till the next day. He blamed the parents for sending their children to work for money in place of study. He blamed himself also for allowing children to go for holiday whenever they wanted.

According to him, it was a matter of embarrassment for French people that they did not know their own language. He said that language is the key to prison.As long as one holds his language, he has a key to prison. He took his classes. He was looking very confident. Franz also thought that he understood everything.

At the end of the class he wanted to say many things but his throat was choked because of emotions. He concluded the class by saying 'Vive La France' that means victory to France.
