Summary
In the story "Gift of the Magi" Della and Jim were a very poor couple living in an apartment. It was Christmas Eve and they both wanted to get eachother gifts.
Della had only $1.87 and didn't have enough to get Jm the fob chain. She had no way of getting it to him unless she sold her hair. So the fact and the amount of love she had for him shw would sell it. So she did. She received $20 for her hair and now has $21.87 and bought the fob chain and went back to the apartment.
Jim had a watch that was passed down many generations and that was the only valuable thing he had. So he decided to sell it which gave him the money to buy a gift for Della. Sowith his money he went to go buy her combs for her hair which is now gone.
They both sold their most valuable things which areDella's hair and Jim's watch. The fact that they sold it, there would be no point of the gift anymore because Della's hair was sold and Jim's gift were combs. Also Della's present was a fob chain for Jim's watch but was sold.
They showed their love by selling their own valuable items so they can see a smille on one's face. At the same time senseless because their presents are worthless but meaningful of the way they got the money to buy it. As long as they are together they are happy.
