The Two Gifts
(after O’Henry)
Jim and Della were very poor. They lived in New York In a small room on the top
floor of a high building. Jim was twenty-two years old, Della was twenty-one.
Both husband and wife worked very hard, but there never was any money in the
house; for all they got went to pay the grocer, the bother, and the baker. And the rent was
$8 a week.
And yet they owned two treasures of which they were very proud. These treasures
were—Jim’s gold watch, which he received from his father, and Della’s beautiful hair.
It was the eve of New-Year’s Day. Della wanted to give Jim a present. She counted
her money. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all she had. Only $1.87 to buy a
present for Jim. So she sat down on the sofa and wept. 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?”
