Question

How does Mr. Lamb react when Derry enters his garden ?

Answer 1

Mr Lamb’s attitude to the small boy is quite gentle, protective and accommodating. Like an elder in the family offering advice and instructions to the younger members, Mr Lamb advises the young boy to mind the apples lest he should trip. He also advises the boy not to feel afraid.

Answer 2

Derry entered the garden by climbing over the wall. Mr. Lamb saw him entering from this way and immediately started to question about his arrival. Derry replied that he had entered the place by assuming that the place was a lonely place. He says that he had not got in with any intention of stealing or robbery. Mr. Lamb makes Derry comfortable and says that his door is always open for the people and asks his help in collecting the crab apples.
