3. Lee admits

The novel that I chose is Fair’s Fair by Narinder Dhami and the theme
that I like is ‘honesty is the best policy’. Honesty means the act of telling
the truth. This proverb means that one must always be honest because that is
the mark of a good person.
This theme is shown through three
incidents. First is when Lee returns the purse he found to the woman who lost
it. Lee shows that honesty is the best because he has helped the woman.
The second
incident is when Lee admits that the ball was flattened by the dog. So he
compensates by giving the little girl the money he earned from walking the dog.
This shows honesty is the best policy because he has helped the little girl to
not feel sad about her ball.
To conclude, the theme 'Honesty is the best policy' is shown in three incidents.
