Because of Jacob's previous performances in work he was asked to see the owner of the show. He was very nervous to see big Al, because he is notoriously known for being mean. Big Al fiercly questions the intent of Jacob being on this circus. Big Al is making fun of the fact that Jacob is a college boy, who ended up on a circus. Whe Al asks Jacob what college, and Jaconb says Cornell, Al is shocked in disbelief. When he asks Jacob what he was studying, and Jacob says to become a vet, a twinkle shines is Al's eye. Jacob is immediatley placed on the animal care staff, and punched in as a fulltime wage earning worker for the circus. Jacob is told to sleep down with the horses. To his suprise, one of the performers is living down there. The performer is a midget, who has red hair, and many freckels. The midget is very angry when the men tell him jacob must room with him. Jacob finally can rest in peace knowing that he has a job now. He sleeps very well, having no nightmares about his parents, and starts his new life in the circus. I believe Jacob will be very successful in this position, because this is what he has prepared himself to do.
