The watchman took The Lamp at the end of the story. The mayor decided to retire that lamp but luckily the watchman asked to take it home and the mayor agreed. It was a great surprise for him. The lamp was so happy and exciting. The guard had asked the city hall leader (mayor) to permit him to keep the lamp. He was relieved to know that this was not the end of his life; it could light for a few more years. The old lamp was exceptionally glad for he could now live with the watchman's family until the end of time.
