The Gift of The Magi
By O. Henry
Della and Jim Young , newly married, were poor. Jim’s wage was enough to rent only a very small house. But there were two things of which each was extremely proud: Della had the longest and the most beautiful hair in all villages, and Jim possessed a magnificent gold pocket watch, given by his father.
New year Eve was drawing near, and Jim and Della began to think what presents they could effort to give each other. Della always noticed sadly, that when Jim looked at his watch (which he did whenever he had an excuse to), it was fixed to the button-hole of his coat by a common old leather strap
He really needed a gold chain. And Jim often thought, as he looked at Della doing her long hair, how nice it would look if only he could buy her a new jeweled comb to hold it in place. But a gold chain or a jeweled hair comb would have cost far more money than either of them possessed.
Now it was New Year eve. How wonder she was! With tearful eyes Della had counted for the tenth time. Just 87 cents. “If only I knew ____.” she thought. Than suddenly she had a wonderful idea! Do you know what she is going to do? Hurriedly putting on her old hat and coat, she ran dawn the street to the shop with the notice “Hair bought”. She went in-and an hour later walked out of the shop richer by 15 dollars, but without her hair! On the way home she stopped at every watchmaker’s shop until at last she found exactly the right chain to suit Jim’s watch.
Returning home, with one dollar and 87 cents left in her pocket, Della had just enough time before Jim arrived home from work to wrap the precious gift in a peace of colored paper, and to curl the remaining short end of her hair. Can you imagine when Jim’s saw her hair? He was speechless,”Oh Jim, don’t looked at me look at me like that!” Della said,” It will grow again, sure it will. Very quickly. Believed me. And I had to do it. Here!” She produced the parcel with the watch chain from behind her back.” You see, I had to sell it to get the money for your present. Happy New year, my dearest husband.”
When Jim had opened his present, he dropped him self and laughed until tears came into his eyes. “I think we’d better put our present away for a while,” he said, gently, at last. “You see,” he continued, taking a small package from his pocket, “I’ve sold my watch to buy this comb for your hair! Isn’t that funny?”
Nodding, as the tears rose in her eyes too, Della gave Jim a brave smile and said,” Our presents are the best present in the world, you know.”
