I read the famous book, "O. Henry Three Short Stories". I love this book because it is easy to read and there are three heart warming stories. I love the first one the best. It was the story of the Christmas.
There are a couple in the town. Their name were Jim and Dera. They are so poor, but they are happy. However, the Christmas would come soon. Dera wanted to give something great to Jim, but she had not enough money. She has only her long beatiful hair. She charished her hair, but her husband, Jim, was the most important in her life, so she decided to sell her hair. After she cut her hair she felt sad, but she felt proud. She could bought clock chain. Jim had good watch, and she thought it was much with the watch.
She was happy when she went home because she could buy great present. She cooked dinner, it is more gorgeous a little bit than usual. Then, her husband came home. When he looked Dera, he was so surprised because Dera's hair was so short. She explained her situation and gave the present to him. Jim understood everything and laughed. He received the chain from her, but he couldn't put it on to his watch. He didn't have it because he sold it in order to but the present to Dera. He gave her comb!! He liked her long hair. That mean they sold their important things and bought the presents for the others each other. They felt so happy.
It was so great story isn't it? I felt consideration of others is so important. We couldn't lose our important things so easily for others. However, if I can meet the person who I want to do like Dera and Jim, it would be so happy.
