The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
In the history of American Literature, O. Henry is one of the most celebrated writers. His endings are quite unexpected for the readers. But no matter how surprising the endings are, they're still reasonable. Another important feature of his writing style is the combination of tragedy and comedy, i.e., the tearful smile.
