her son. He was even damper and uglier than his mother. When he saw the pretty

the middle of the stream so she won`t be able to escape. Then we can clear out

The Gift
Well,
here is the story. Della and Jim Young are a poor newly married couple. Jim`s
wage was enough to rent only a very small apartment. But there were two things
of which each were extremely proud: Della had the longest and most beautiful
hair in all of New York, and Jim possessed a magnificent gold pocket watch,
given to him by his father.
New
year`s day was drawing near, and Jim and Della began to think what present they
could afford to give each other. Della always notice sadly when Jim looked at
his watch. It was fixed to button-hole of his coat by a common old leather
strap. He really needed a gold chain for long hair.” How nice it would if only
he could buy her a jeweled hair-comb for her hair.” But a gold watch-chain and
a jeweled hair-comb would have cost far more money than they could afford.
Then
suddenly Della had a wonderful idea! Quickly she ran down the street to the
shop with notice `hair bought.` she went in and an hour later walked out of the
shop with $15 in her hand, but with short-cut hair! On the way home she stopped
at a watchmakers shop and found exactly the right chain for Jim`s watch.
Returning
home, Della wrapped the precious gift in a piece of colored paper, then she
curled her short hair. When Jim arrived home and saw her hair, he was
speechless.
“Oh,
Jim, don`t look at me like that!,” said Della. “It will grow again, sure it
will.” She handed a parcel to Jim. “You see, I had to sell it to get some money
for your present. Happy New Year, Jim darling.”
Jim
opened the parcel. He dropped into a chair and laughed until tears came out of
his eyes, “I think we`d better put this present away for a while,” he said,
gently at last. ”You see,” he continued, taking a small package from his
pocket. “I sold my watch to buy this comb for your hair! Isn`t it 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.”
