Main Idea:
In the story "Gift of the Magi'' there was a women who name was Della and she was really poor. And It was a day before christmas when Della was counting the money that she had been saving up for months but since she was very poor she had only saved up a dollor and eighty-seven . But it wasnt enought ot buy Jim, her husband, a present that he diserved. So she thought of selling something that she had that meant a lot to her. So she decided to sell her hair which was really long it went down to her knees and she even had to let it hang out the window just so she can let it dry. So she sold it to a women for twenty dollors to buy Jim a chain for his watch, instead of the string of leather he had.
When Della went to go meet up with Jim, Jim was surprised when he saw that Della had cut off her hair. Della was disappointed in the look of his face. But Jim handed her the present that he had got for her. And she opened it and it was a set of combs for her hair which were really expesive. And for him to buy it for her he had to sell his watch. So they had decided to hold off on the gift because Della had no hair to comb and Jim didnt have a watch to put his cain on.
So in the story things didnt go the way they wanted it to because they both gave away somthing that meant a lot to them so they could give the other a good gift.
