It's an obvious truth that reader comes to know i.e. both Mr. Lamb and Derry are two different sides of the same coin. Both suffer from handicap, but the way take look at it is entirely different. Though Mr. Lamb has lost one of his leg, he accepts his impairment and reconciles with it. He find beauty in nature leads a useful life. Even before dying he is able to bring about a change in Derry.
