But then he hears Mr Lamb’s voice,” “Mind the apples.” Derry is startled to hear that voice. He has thought that no one was there in the garden. He wants to run way from there but Mr Lamb says that he is most welcomed in the garden.
Derry sits beside Mr Lamb. They have heart to heart talk. They thoroughly enjoy each other’s company. Mr Lamb has been retired from the army. One of his legs had been blown due to a bomb blast.
