How did Della within the story "The Gift of the Magi" decide to give her husband a pleasing surprise? What was the result?
The Gift of the Magi
Answer:
Jim and Della love one another. Della wanted to
offer a pleasing surprise
to her husband Jim within the sort of a Christmas present. She had saved through the year just
one dollar and
eighty-seven cents. She couldn't buy a costly present with this small money, so she
sold her beautiful hair for twenty dollars. With the
cash, she purchased a
gorgeous platinum
fob chain for Jim's gold watch. Thus she was prepared to
offer a pleasing surprise
to Jim.
The result was ironic. Jim did not have the gold watch to
place the chain
on. He had sold it that very day to get a group of lovely combs for Della. The frustration made her cry. He,
however, didn't feel sad. His love for Della became more intense
knowing the good sacrifice she had made for him.
