Suddenly she got up and went to the looking – glass. Her eyes shone brillia tly. Quickly she undid her hair. It reached below her knees and covered her like a cloak. And then she did it again quickly and nervously. She put on her old brown hat. Then she ran out of the door and down the stairs to the street. She stopped before a sign and read the words: “M-me Sofranie. Hairgoods of all kinds”. Then she entered the shop. She saw Madame sitting at the counter. She was fat and red cheeked. “Will you buy my hair?”, asked Della. “Let me see it,” said Madame. Della took of her hat and undid her hair. “Twenty dollars”, said Madame, lifting the mass of Della’s golden hair with a practiced hand. “Give me a money”, said Della… The next two hours were like a happy dream. Della hurried from shop looking for Jim’s present. She found it at last. It was a watch chain for which she paid $21. And then she hurried home with the chain and the remaining 87 cents. Jim was not at home. Della got out of curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work. In forty minutes her head was covered with tiny curls. She looked like a schoolboy. She said to herself: “I hope Jim not kill me. But what could I do – oh, what could I do with one dollar and 87 cents. At seven o’clock the coffee was ready. Della sat waiting for Jim. She heard his steps on the stairs, and she turned white for jus one moment. The door opened and Jim entered the room. He looked thin and very serious… and suddenly Jim stopped. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that terrified her. “Jim, darling! She cried, “don’t look at me like that: I sold my hair because I wanted to give you present. My hair will grow again. It grows very fast. Say ‘A Happy New Year’, Jim, and let us be happy. You don’t know what a beautiful present I have for you”. Jim sighed. He drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it on the table. “If you open that package, you will understand,” he said. Della took off the paper and string. There lay the beautiful combs that Della saw in a Broadway shop window. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone. Suddenly Della jumped and cried: “Oh, Jim, I shall give you your beautiful present.” She held it out to him upon her open palm. 12“Isn’t it a beautiful chain? Give me your watch: I want to see how it looks on it.” Jim did not obey. He fell on the sofa and put his hands behind his head and smiled. “Della”, said he,” I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. It the coffee ready?”

Два подарка
(после О'Генри)
Джим и Делла были очень бедны. Они жили в Нью-Йорке в маленькой комнатке на верхнем
этаже высокого здания. Джиму было двадцать два года, Делле-двадцать один.
И муж, и жена очень много работали, но в доме никогда не было денег
; все, что они получали, уходило на оплату бакалейщика, хлопот и булочника. А арендная плата составляла
8 долларов в неделю.
И все же они владели двумя сокровищами, которыми очень гордились. Эти сокровища
были-золотые часы Джима, которые он получил от своего отца, и прекрасные волосы Деллы.
Это было накануне Нового года. Делла хотела сделать Джиму подарок. Она пересчитала
свои деньги. Один доллар восемьдесят семь центов. Вот и все, что у нее было. Только $ 1.87, чтобы купить
подарок для Джима. Тогда она села на диван и заплакала. Вдруг она встала и подошла к
зеркалу. - Ее глаза сияли, как у бриллии. Она быстро распустила волосы. Она доходила
ей до колен и покрывала, как плащом. А потом она сделала это снова быстро и
нервно. Она надела свою старую коричневую шляпу. Затем она выбежала за дверь и спустилась по лестнице
на улицу.
Она остановилась перед вывеской и прочитала слова: “М-мне Софранья. Товары для волос всех
видов”. Затем она вошла в магазин. Она увидела мадам, сидящую за стойкой. Она была толстая и
краснощекая.
- Ты купишь мне волосы?- спросила Делла.
- Дайте мне взглянуть, - сказала мадам.
Делла сняла шляпу и распустила волосы.
- Двадцать долларов, - сказала мадам, опытной рукой приподнимая копну золотистых волос Деллы
.
- Дай мне денег, - сказала Делла...
следующие два часа были как счастливый сон. Делла поспешила из магазина в поисках подарка для
Джима.
Наконец она его нашла. Это была цепочка от часов, за которую она заплатила 21 доллар. А потом она заторопилась.
домой с цепочкой и оставшимися 87 центами.
Джима дома не оказалось. Делла вылезла из щипцов для завивки волос, зажгла газ и принялась за
работу. Через сорок минут ее голова была покрыта крошечными кудряшками. Она была похожа на школьницу.
Она сказала себе: "Надеюсь, Джим не убьет меня. Но что я мог сделать-о, что я мог сделать
с одним долларом и 87 центами.
К семи часам кофе был готов. Делла сидела и ждала Джима. Она услышала его шаги
на лестнице и на мгновение побледнела. Дверь открылась, и в комнату вошел Джим
. Он выглядел худым и очень серьезным... и вдруг Джим остановился. У него были такие глаза ...
они смотрели на Деллу, и в них было такое выражение, что она испугалась.
- Джим, дорогой! - Не смотри на меня так, я продала свои волосы, потому что
хотела сделать тебе подарок. Мои волосы снова вырастут. Он растет очень быстро. Скажи "счастливого Нового
года", Джим, и давай будем счастливы. Ты даже не представляешь, какой прекрасный подарок я приготовил для тебя”.
- Джим вздохнул. Он достал из кармана пальто сверток и бросил его на стол.
“Если ты откроешь этот пакет, то поймешь, - сказал он.
Делла сняла бумагу и веревку. Там лежали прекрасные гребни, которые Делла увидела в одной из них.
Витрина бродвейского магазина. Теперь они принадлежали ей, но ее волосы исчезли.
Вдруг Делла вскочила и закричала:
“О, Джим, я подарю тебе твой прекрасный подарок.- Она протянула его ему на
раскрытой ладони.
- Разве это не прекрасная цепь? Дайте мне ваши часы: я хочу посмотреть, как они выглядят на нем.-
Джим не послушался. Он упал на диван, заложил руки за голову и улыбнулся.
- Делла, - сказал он, - я продал часы, чтобы получить деньги на покупку твоих гребней. Это кофе
уже готов?”
