 | Flickr | "The Gift of the Magi" adapted from O. Henry |
 | Flickr | Della saved a long time. She had only $1.87. |
 | Flickr | It was not enough for Christmas shopping. |
 | Flickr | She sobbed and sniffled. |
 | Flickr | Della was married to Jim. They were very much in love. |
 | Flickr | Jim had a job. He earned only $20 a week. |
 | Flickr | Della was sad. She did not have enough money to buy a gift for Jim. |
 | Flickr | Della passed a mirror and looked carefully into it. |
 | Flickr | Jim and Della did not own much, but they were proud of two things... |
 | Flickr | Della was proud of her long, beautiful hair. |
 | Flickr | Jim was proud of his gold watch. It had been his father's. |
 | Flickr | As she looked in the mirror, Della had an idea for getting more money. |
 | Flickr | Della sold her hair to Madame Sofronie at a wig shop. |
 | Flickr | She received 20 dollars. |
 | Flickr | She paid $21 for a watch chain for Jim's present. She had 87 cents left. |
 | Flickr | Della curled her short hair when she got home. |
 | Flickr | She worried that Jim would not like her short hair. |
 | Flickr | When he got home, Jim could not stop staring at her. |
 | Flickr | "My hair is sold and gone. I'm me without it, ain't I?" said Della. |
 | Flickr | "Nothing could make me like you any less," said Jim. |
 | Flickr | Jim gave Della the Christmas present he had bought her. |
| | Flickr | Stella opened it and again began crying. |
 | Flickr | The package contained combs for her hair. Her vanished hair. |
 | Flickr | Soon she smiled, "My hair grows so fast, Jim!" |
 | Flickr | Della then showed Jim his present. The watch chain. |
 | Flickr | Jim sat down and smiled. |
 | Flickr | "I sold my watch to get the money to buy your combs." |
 | Flickr | The magi were wise men who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. |
| | Flickr | They invented Christmas gift giving. |
| | Flickr | Jim and Della sacrificed what they liked most to buy gifts for each other. |
 | Flickr | Anyone who does what Jim and Della did is wise. |
 | Flickr | But Jim and Della are the wisest. They are the magi. |
