There was a couple that was very poor and in a need of money. The wifes name was Della and her husbands name was Jim. Della was a wife who atayed home and cooked and clean. Jim of course was a gentle men who worked.
So one day Della was saving up money to buy a present for Jim for Christsmas, she counted how much money she had! One dollar and eighty-eight cents. She kept on reapeating to herself, what am I gonna buy for Jim with $1.88? SO she went around town to see what she wanted to buy for her husband? So she saw a chain for Jim. She said that ti was exactly for him and made just for Jim. But the only thing was that it was $20.00.
Then she went to a store and a lady said "You have beautiful long hair" Della replied "Thank You." The lady said that she would cut it off of her for $20.00. So Della agreed to cut her hair to buy Jim the chain. So she went home and Jim walked in with Dellas Christsmas present, Jim had saw Dellla had cut her hair really short! Jims expression was down and depressed. Della said "Please Jim don't be sad, I cut my hair to buy you a present!"
Then Jim said "Here open your present"..... Della opened it and her face just wanted to burst into to tears. Dellas present was expensive combs, different kinds. Then Della said "Here open your present", Jim opened it! Della told Jim to put the chain with his grandfathers watch and Jim told her "I sold mt watch to buy your combs." So basically they both gave up each others valuable thing, to give each other a gift!
