O.Henry is a world-renowned master of the small genre, thanks to which he experienced his dawn. The characters of his stories are very diverse: workers, artists, millionaires, clerks, engineers, and the plots surprise with their diversity and vitality, but they also have something in common - an unexpected ending that makes the reader think.
"The Gift of the Magi" - on Christmas Eve, a young married couple - Jim and Della - find that they do not have enough money for holiday gifts for each other. Della decides to sell her luxurious brown curls and buy her husband a platinum chain for his gold watch. In the evening, Jim comes home with a gift for his wife. The couple open the wrapping and it turns out that Jim sold his watch to buy an expensive set of combs that Della has long dreamed of. But this does not spoil the holiday of two loving hearts.
