Derry who had a burnt face, was a pessimist. He had lost all self-regard and led an isolated life. But Mr. Lamb not only supported Derry but also gave him courage and confidence to face his handicap boldly. He taught him to admire everything in the world. He inspired him to make friends with people and not to be disturbed by their remarks. A conversation with Mr. Lamb unburdened Derry as he found an outlet of all his frustration and embedded emotions.
