He is an important character in the lesson “On the face of it”. He has a tin leg. **** called him Lamey- Lamb. He lived alone and kept the doors of his garden open which symbolises his openmindedness to all who visited his garden. He knew the art of living. He was a man with positive attitude. He brought a major change in Derry' attitude towards life as he was full of negativity due to the scar on his face. Mr. Lamb told him to meet people happily and learn to be happy with himself instead of burning himself with the acid of hatred for others. Mr. Lamb was a lonely person. He used to get happiness by spending time with others and reading books. In the end, Derry shows respect for him by coming back to him to help him pluck crab apples but finds him ** due to his (Mr. Lamb ) fall from the ladder.
