Mon.ï¼Tomorrow will be Christmas. But Della feels very sad. Because she has no money to buy a present for her husband , Jim . She has only one dollar and eighty-seven cents . They have only 20 dollars a week, it doesnât leave much for saving.
In fact, Della and Jim have two possessions in which they both take very great pride. One is Jimâs gold watch, which has been his fatherâs and his grandfatherâs. The other is Dellaâs long beautiful hair.
D: Life is so hard for me. Though I saved the money for many months , I still have only one dollar and eighty seven cents.
D: I---- I---- I have to have my hair cut and sold it . In that way I can get some money and I can buy a beautiful present for Jim.

M: Yes, I buy all kinds of hair. Sit down, please. Take your hat off and let me have a look. Oh, very beautiful. Very good! Twenty dollars , OK?

Mon.ï¼Della spent two hours in the streets. Then she stopped at a Gold Shop and bought a gold watch chain. Now ,Della is at home.
D: Oh, what a beautiful gold watch chain. I think it must match Jim's watch. When he sees it he must be very happy .
(Suddenly the door opened and in came Jim . )
J: You-----?
D: Jim. Donât look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold it because I couldnât have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. Jim, it will grow quickly. You donât mind, do you ? I just had to do it. My hair grows very fast, you know. Say âMerry Christmas!â Jim, and letâs be happy.
çæ¡è¡¥å J: Youâve cut off your hair?
D: Iâve cut it off and sold it. Itâs sold. I tell you -sold and gone, too. Itâs Christmas Eve , Jim. Be good to me, for it went for you.
J: Well , Della. Donât make any mistake about me. I donât think thereâs anything about a hair cut that could make me love you any less. I know, it went for me. Look at this package . çæ¡è¡¥å D: What ?
J: Look at it yourself. You 'll see.
D:Ah! The combs. They were in the shop windows for many months!
J:Yes, the beautiful combs, pure tortoiseshell, with jewelry rims--just the color to wear in your beautiful, hair.
D: But , Jim. They are expensive combs. I know, my heart had longed for them without the least hope of possession. Now they are mine. Thank you Jim.
J; Now, you will see why I was upset at first.
