The bond that unites Mr. Lamb and Derry is the loneliness and alienation they experience on account of their physical disabilities. Mr. Lamb lost a leg in the war and has a tin leg while Derry has an acid bum on one cheek which gives him an ugly appearance. The actual pain and inconvenience caused by a disability is often much less than the sense of estrangement felt by a disabled person. But, unlike Derry, Mr. Lamb always maintains a positive attitude towards life and is a downright extrovert.

One alternate ending to the story 'On the Face of It' would be that when Derry returns to Mr Lamb, he finds the latter waiting for him in his garden. The two would become good friends and inspire each other to live life with zeal and hope.

Derry is a complex-ridden fourteen year old boy. He is a victim of inferiority complex after acid accidentally spilled and burnt one side of his face. His handicap has filled him with bitterness and so Derry suffers more on account of the pain that his own views of how everyone hates him, causes him. Mr. Lamb has a garden that is full of fruits, flowers and trees and herbs of all sorts. He likes his garden because it attracts young children and he gets a sense of pleasure in pulling down the ripe crab apples from the trees and making jelly for the children who visit his garden.

Mr. Lamb was a very amiable and friendly person who would get into theconversation with the passersby and allow children to play in his garden. When it’s a bit cool, Mr Lamb keeps himself busy by pulling down the ripe crab apples of his garden with the help of the ladder and a stick. He makes jelly with those apples.

There was a man who was always afraid of everything in this world. He thought that anything could happen to him. He might be either run over by a bus or might be infected with deadly germs of another man. Even a donkey might kick him to death. Lightning might strike him down or he might slip on a banana peel. So he always locked himself into a room. One day a picture fell off the wall on his head and killed him.

The people saw Derry’s acid-burnt face. His ugly face had become fearful to look at. The people did not discourage him. Rather, they often asked him to look at those who are in pain but are brave. They consoled him to think of them who never cried and complained though they are worse than him. They called him better than the blind, deaf, lame, crazy and cripple.

Roger Skunk went to the wise Owl because he wants to get rid off of his foul smell comes out of body and further he had also desired to change his body smell into Rose ones so that he can play with other animals who taunt him for his nasty smell.

Roger Skunk’s mummy was angry with him because she did not like her son smelling of roses. Roger was a skunk and so he must smell like one. She did not care for the fact that all the other animals kept away from him because he smelled badly. She decided to take him back to that ‘awful’ wizard so that he could get back his old smell.

Jo thought Roger Skunk was much better off with the new smell because of which he had been able to find so many friends and played with them happily. For her Roger Skunk’s story should have ended on a happy note with his pleasant smell because of which he was accepted by the other creatures as their friend.

Jo was not convinced with the ending of the story and coaxed her father to retell the story the next day giving the story a predetermined path that she had set. According to her, neither Roger Skunk nor the wizard was wrong in the story. Jo refused to accept the end where Roger Skunk's mother hit the wizard and that too without being hit back. She wanted the story to end with the wizard hitting back the mother skunk with his magic wand on her head.

The servants decided to leave Sadao's house as the felt that their lives were in danger because of nursing a prisoner of war in the house. They were already so poor that they didn't wanted to get into trouble with the authorities.

Sadao was a famous surgeon and scientist. He had mastered the art of healing wounds. The old General of Japan had full faith in his abilities as a surgeon. He did not believe any other doctor. He was not keeping good health and could require a surgery any time, so Sadao was not sent with the troops abroad.

Sadao’s education had been his father’s chief concern, who even sent him to America at the age of twenty-two to study surgery and medicine. Sadao’s father was a true patriot and took immense pride in Japanese culture and traditions. That is why Sadao married Hana only after confirming that she was a Japanese, as he did not want to upset his father. This suggests that Sadao’s father’was a very traditional and conventional man.

Hana was very much helpful while the operation was on. She dipped a small clean towel into the steaming hot water and washed his face. She was requested to give the anaesthetic if needed. With the help of instruments from his emergency bag, Sadao made a clean and precise incision. The bullet was out and the doctor declared that the man would live.

Well, Dr. Sadao treated the American soldier for two reasons. Firstly, he had been morally bound by the Hippocratic oath to treat any patient irrespective of their nationality, colour, creed, or religion. Secondly, he had spent eight years of his years learning medicine at America. He had a soft corner in his heart for a man who belonged to the country where he had learnt so much; he owed meeting Hana, his wife and love, to America. So the above mentioned two points impelled Dr. Sadao to treat the American prisoner of war.
