Jim seemed to wake up from a trance and held Della tightly in his arms. Now, don't worry, let's spend ten seconds thinking about something unimportant from another angle.

The rent is eight dollars a week, or one million dollars-what's the difference? Mathematicians or gifted scholars will give you the wrong answer. Maggie brought a precious gift, but it lacked that thing. This obscure sentence will be explained below.

Jim took a small bag from his coat pocket and threw it on the table.

"Don't get me wrong, Del," he said. "No matter how I cut my hair, shave my face and wash my hair, I think nothing in the world can reduce my love for my wife a little. However, as long as you open that bag, you will understand why it was my brain just now. "

White fingers deftly untied the rope and opened the paper bag. Followed by a scream of ecstasy, alas! Suddenly it turned into a woman's neurotic tears and crying, and he urgently needed the man to try his best to comfort him.

Or because of the comb on the table-a full set of combs, including sideburns and back, everything. This is something that Della saw in a Broadway window a long time ago and envied to death. These wonderful hair combs are made of pure tortoiseshell with jewels on the edges-their colors match her lost hair.

She knew that this set of combs was too expensive, and she just envied it, but she never wanted to keep it for herself. Now, all this actually belongs to her, but unfortunately the beautiful long hair that is qualified to wear this coveted ornament has disappeared without a trace.

However, she still raised her hair comb to her chest. After a long time, she raised her tears and said with a smile, "My hair grows very fast, Jim!" " "

Then Della jumped up like a scalded kitten and cried, "Oh! Oh! "

Jim hasn't seen his beautiful present yet. She eagerly held out her palm to him. Unconsciously precious metals seemed to flash her joy and enthusiasm.

"Beautiful, Jim? I searched all over the city before I found it. Now, you can watch the time a hundred times a day. Give me the watch, I want to see how it matches. "

Jim didn't listen to her instructions, but fell down on the sofa, put his head in his hands and smiled slightly.

"Del," he said, "let's put the Christmas presents aside and keep them for a while. They are too good to be used at present. I sold my gold watch and bought you a comb. Now, you cook the steak. "

As we all know, Maggie is a smart person. She is very clever. They brought presents to Jesus who was born in a manger. They invented the thing of giving Christmas presents. Because they are smart people, there is no doubt that their gifts are also smart gifts. If they meet two identical things, they may have the right to exchange.

Here, I clumsily introduced to you the plain story of two silly children living in an apartment, who unwisely sacrificed the most precious thing in their family for each other.

However, let's say the last word to the wise today. Of all the gift givers, those two are the cleverest.

Among all the people who give and receive gifts, people like them are also the cleverest. Everywhere, they are the smartest people.

They are saints.

Extended data writing background:

It tells the story of a poor young couple reluctantly giving each other Christmas presents, reflecting the hardships of the American underclass and praising the hero's kind heart and pure love.

O Henry was born in a doctor's family in America, and lost his mother when he was a child. When he was young, his family wealth decreased. /kloc-started to make a living in society at the age of 0/5, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of life alone.

He worked as a pharmacy apprentice, a shepherd, a bank teller and accountant, and a clerk of the Land Bureau. Different work and life experiences and lonely wandering in society made young O Henry realize the hardships and hardships of life prematurely.

Living in the bottom society, he not only has to worry about trivial things in life, but also the deprivation and oppression of the upper society makes his life poor. Living in the lower class, O Henry consciously speaks for the little people and pretends to be the representative of more than four million poor people in new york.

The novel The Gift of the Magi reflects the author's living environment and class, and the social class and hardships of the protagonist's life are also a personal portrayal of O 'Henry.

/kloc-in the 0/9th century, American capitalist monopoly developed rapidly. Capitalists in enterprises and factories have increased their oppression on workers in order to obtain higher profits, and the gap between the rich and the poor in society has become more and more serious. It was during this period that the writer O Henry's wife died. O Henry, with poor financial ability, met and fell in love with his wife estes at a dance.

However, estes's family was very opposed. Estes finally married O 'Henry, regardless of his family's opinions. Despite the hardships, he is happy and sweet. Later, O 'Henry left his seriously ill wife and took refuge in the countryside because he was suspected of defaulting on a sum of money from the bank until his wife died. Maggie's gift is a testimony to his wife's guilt and yearning.

The source of creative power comes from the dissection and reflection of American bottom social life, especially the exposure of the gap between the rich and the poor in America, and links this with every detail of love, affection and life, especially in the overall artistic expression of the work, all of which comes from O. Henry's memory of his wife.

O Henry takes the beautiful love in the poor life of the broad masses of the lower classes as the theme. He made a sharp and bitter satire on the capitalist society where money was paramount at that time, and praised the broad masses of people for their spirit of caring for each other and self-sacrifice in the struggle and their beautiful love of seeing the truth in adversity.

Its infinite artistic charm lies in the fact that the author shows the character characteristics in the plot and pays attention to the actions of the characters in the story, thus revealing the heroic character characteristics of the protagonist and their simple love.

Jim and Della, though just little people living at the bottom of society, are passionate about life and love each other deeply. In the face of these warm feelings, poverty can become insignificant. Although each other's gifts lost their use value to each other in the end, Della and Jim got something more precious than gifts in the world, that is, priceless love.
