One dollar and 87 cents.Thats all she had. Della had been saving up for months and now she has one dollar and 87 cents.Della had beautiful long hair, and not even a queen could compare.She lived in a flat and it nedded 8 dollars a week if it wanted her to live there.
James had somthing of quality too.His watch.The watch was his grandftahers then it was his fathers and now its his.If ing saul new james all james had to do was check the time and the king would die of jelousy
it was the day before christmas and all della had was one dollar and 87 cents.One dollar and 87 cents to by james a christmas present.(della is james girl)She went staright to the "Hair and goods" store.NOw dont forget that dellas hair fell about herr riddels and shining like a cascade of brown waters.She cut it off.And got 20 dollars for it.
della went to all the stores.She went u0p and down and turned the stores inside out.Until she finaly found the perfect gift.One in a million.
They had it in non other stores.It was a platinum Fob chain.It was of even the watch.So she bought it, 21 dollars.Off she went home with 87 cents in her pocket.
She got home and quickly turned on th e curling iron and curled what she had left of hair.She had the coffee readyt by 7 o'clock.As she held the chain in her hand she sat at where she always sits, at the corner of the table nearest to the door where james comes in.
He's never late.
He walked in and had an odd expression on his face.Della could not figure out what it was for.So quickly she told hinm thta it was mereley a hair cut and that it would grow back.
James told her that no hair cut would make him like his girl any less.he pilled out a package from his jacket and told her to open it.it was the combs that she had been wanting frome the broadway shop.She new that they were very expensive!
She held out the chain in her hand.He loved it. She asked for the watch to see how the chain would look on it.He too had sold his most valuable possesion to by a gift for his loved one.
