Gift of the Magi
(N= Narrator D= Della J= Jim)
N: Tomorrow will be Christmas. But Della feels very sad, because
she has no money to buy a present for her husband, Jim. In fact,
Della and Jim have two precious possessions. They are Jim's
gold watch and Della's long beautiful hair, which are the only
wealth for them. Della had her hair cut, sold it and bought a gold
watch chain for Jim. Now, Della is at home.
1a Look at the picture and guess what the girl is thinking
about. Then read the part of narrator to check.
(All of a sudden, the door opens and Jim comes in.)
J: You—
D: Jim. Don't look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold it
because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving
you a present. Jim, it will grow quickly. Say “Merry Christmas!”
Jim, and let's be happy.
J: You've cut off your hair
D: I've cut it off and sold it. It's sold. I tell you, sold and gone, too.
It's Christmas Eve, Jim. Please understand. I sold my hair so
that I could give you something for Christmas.
J: Well, Della, I do understand. Don't worry. The fact that you have
a different hair cut could not possibly make me love you less. I
know you sold your hair for me. Now look at this present I got
for you.
D: Ah! The combs. They were in the shop windows for many months!
J: Yes, the beautiful combs, with jeweled rims — just the color to
wear in your beautiful hair.
D: But, Jim. They are expensive combs. I know, my heart had longed
for them without the least hope of owning them. Now they are
mine. Thank you, Jim.
J: Now, you will see why I was upset at first.
D: Jim, you don't know what a nice — what a beautiful gift, nice
gift I've got for you. Can you guess
J: I'm sorry. I have no idea what it could be.
D: Look! A gold watch chain! Isn't it lovely, Jim I hunted all over
the town to fin it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times
a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.
J: Della, let's put our Christmas gifts away and keep them for a
while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to
get the money to buy the combs. Now, let's have our supper.
