NEED ASAP!!!

read the passage: i reached into my pocket and caressed the coins, "here", I said carefully, pulling out a nickel. "if we all give a nickel, we should have enough to buy him something pretty nice." he regarded me with contempt "Rita already gave me fifteen cents, and I'm throwing in a quarter. Albert handed over a dime- all that's left of his birthday money. is that all you can do- a nickel? " which best identifies the character trait this passage reveals in Jerry?
