 ANSWER

In Fair’s Fair by Narinder Dhami, I admire the main character, Lee. Lee is a
likeable, friendly and easy going character. He does not come from a rich
family but accepts that fact humbly.Thus, when his mother tells him that he
cannot go to the fair because she has not budgeted for it, he is obedient.
However , when his friend help him to do odd jobs to eran money for the fair
he gladly co-operates.
