Summary-Main Idea
Well in the "Gift of the Magi" a girl named Della only has $1.87. She really wants to buy Jim a Christmas present, but after months of saving she could only save up $1.87. So she came up with an idea that would able her to get him something.
She went to "Mme. Sofronie. Hair goods of all kinds." She went to see how much her long brunette hair would be worth. The lady that worked there, Madame said that her hair was worth twenty-dollars. So Della cut off her long brunette hair then she went look for the perfect gift for Jim.
She found a fob chain for the watch he loved for twenty-one dollars. She went home and waited for him to come home to see his reaction to her hair and his gift. When he arrived she was in for a suprise because it turned out that he sold his watch to get her the beautiful combs that she wanted, even though now she had no long hair.
