Write the character sketch of Mr. Lamb.

Mr. Lamb is an old man with a big house having a decent garden full of flowers, weeds and crab apples. He thinks that it is all life. His one leg is blown off in the war and has a tin leg. The gate of his garden is always open and there are no curtains in the windows. Everyone who comes into the garden is always welcomed. He has become a wise man by reading books and sitting in his garden. The sweet notes of birds and buzzing of bees give him charm and life.

Mr. Lamb has got over his physical impairment with the passage of time. He has learnt how to keep himself balanced for plucking crab apples. Children call him ‘Lamey Lamb’, but he is not disturbed rather he takes it very lightly. So they are not afraid of him and they come to his garden for fruits. On his part, Mr. Lamb enjoys their company. Derry enters into his garden by climbing on the wall and he thinks it to be a lonely place. Immediately, Mr. Lamb questions and tells that the door is always open. Both discuss a lot but Mr. Lamb falls from a ladder and dies.
