The Gift Of Magi main idea

I think the main idea of the story was about two people. these two people (who love each other )give up their most precious treasures to buy each other a gift to go along with the other persons treasure. They give each other the gifts & are suprised to learn that the other sold the item that the gifts were to go along with.
Unkowingly, Della (who only has $1.87 to for Christmas) sells her hair (Dellas most precious item) for $20. She then goes on a rampage to find her dearst Jim a gift. She finnaly finds it ( a platnum fod chain) & buys it for Jim. She then reaturns home to wait for him.
When Jim reaturns he stares at her. Then he is shoked to see that Della had sold her hair. Jim gives her his gift. When Della opens it she screms with joy. Then cries tears of irony, Jim had gotten her combes! Della gives him her gift & askes him to put it on his watch. Jim sits down on the couch & tells Della he sold his watch (the chain was for & Jims most precious item) to buy her the combes!
