'The gift of the Magi' is a beautiful love story by the famous author O. Henry.It is about a couple who love each other immensely.The husband is a clerk and the wife is a home maker.They earn just enough to make both ends meet.
Della has beautiful golden hair of which she is extremely proud and spends hours combing her hair.Jim has a valuable golden watch which he treasures immensely.
With Christmas approaching both Della and Jim want to give each other gifts.
Della decides to sell her beautiful hair to be able to buy a golden chain for Jim's watch while Jim decides to sell his watch to be able to buy a set of pearl combs to hold Della's hair.
On Christmas eve they are both stunned to find that their gifts are worthless for one another.
To love another is to be able to sacrifice the most precious thing one has to make the loved one happy.
