Evey one has to sacrifice things to be happy or to make others happy.Della really wants Christmas to be great. She has no money except $1.87 that shes been saving up for months. She really wants to get her husband something really special.The most valuable things they have was Jim's gold watch which was passed on by his father and grandfather. For Della it was her hair. Della had to sacrifice her hair to get her husband something really special.
Della dashed out the front door and went looking for some kinda hair saloon place. She found one she walked in and asked the lady if she would buy her hair. The lady sat her down and took along look at it and said I will give you 20 dollars for it. Della said okay do it quickly.
After that she went in search of that one special gift that stood out from the wrest to them. That day that Jim got home he just stared at her for along time. Della was really scared she thought he wouldn't like her no more because of her hair.
Jim after gave her the present and said it would explain everything. When she opened them it was a set of the combs that she really wanted. He had bought it for her long beautiful hair that was now very short. Then Della with excitement gave him the gift that she had bought him which was a platinum fob watch. He just sat down and smiled. He said I sold it to buy the set of you combs.
