It was christmas eve and Della was counting her money. She keeps on recounting them but still one dollar and eighty-seven cents. She really wanted to buy her husband, Jim a gift but her money wasn't enough. Then she thought of a bright idea. She went outside and sold her hair. The lady examined her hair on how much will it cost. It was 20 dollars. With no doubt, she let her hair be cut. When she had the money she bought the gold watch that Jim wanted. She then went back home.
Few hours later Jim arrived. She was really worried on what will be Jim's reaction. When Jim found out he was just staring at her. Before Jim can speak Della explained to him. He was really shocked. Then suprisingly Jim took off his hair, wait no it was a wig! Della was also shocked and had nothing to say. Jim said to her that he really bald. He also sold his hair for their expenses everyday. Now the couple were the same. Silence took over, then suddenly they both laughed. It was because they realized that they look so funny. When they stopped laughing they thought that it wouldn't be nice if they will be like that on christmas day. So they went to the magi and asked them for help. Unfortunately the magi were really not real. They were just group of men that played a role on a carnival. They were laughing because a young man and woman believed in them. While they were laughing the couple was worried. When the magi realized they stopped laughing. They felt bad on what they did. It was really hard for Della and Jim. So they, the magi just gave them a piece of advice. They said that it really doesn't matter on what you will look on christmas, what matters is you are with the person you want. The couple were inspired with them so they thanked them. On christmas day they were celebrating together happily.
