I read the story written by O. Henry. It was about a girl who had beautiful and awesome hair. Her name was Della. She was living with her husband, Jim. Jim had a expensive watch. That watch was his granfather’s and the his dad’s and it was very special watch for him. Della’s hair and Jim’s watch were the things that they were proud of. They were poor and they couldn’t give each other expensive gifts in Christmas. The next day would be Christmas and Della didn’t have enough money for Jim’s gift. She was sad and she didn’t know what to do. Finnaly she decided to cut her beautiful hair and sold it. She sold it especially for Jim’s gift. She bought gold watch chain, very simply made for Jim’s watch. She knew that he would like the chain but she was afraid about his reaction of her short hair. When Della showed Jim her short hair and the chain he was shocked. He didn’t know what to say, because he sold his watch to buy combs for Della’s hair.
It was very cute story. I liked it very much. It wasn’t about gifts or Christmas, it was about a strong relationship. Della and Jim were ready to do everything for each other. Nothing was more than their love and relationship. It’s the main idea of the story. We all should think like them, because nothing is more important then our families, friends and relatives.
