Abstract: A generalization of the Lebesgue number lemma is obtained. It is proved that, if each countably infinite locally finite open cover of a chainable metric space $X$ has a Lebesgue number, then $X$ is totally bounded. A property of metric spaces which is a generalization of connectedness and Menger convexity is introduced. It is observed that Atsujiness and compactness are equivalent for a metric space with this introduced property as well as for a chainable metric space.
