Jasmine White-Gift of the Maji

Main Idea

In the "Gift of the Maji", a woman and her husband sacrifice their most valuable possesions in order to get the perfect gift for each other.
Della begins with $1.87 in change and heads to a woman's hair shop to sell her hair. Now with $21.87, Della looks through all the stores untill she finds a gold chain. She buys the chain for Jim's watch and heads home.
Jim comes home with a gift, wrapped in paper, for Della. Jim watches as Della opens the gift and finds a set of combs. Jim had sold his watch to buy Della the expencive combs for her hair.
