This public domain love story in the audiobook form is read and recorded by Betsie Bush in December 2005, in Marquette, Michigan, USA.
Summary:
The Gift of the Magi is an O. Henry short story in which a young couple are very much in love with each other but can barely afford their one-room apartment. For Christmas, they each make a sacrifice to purchase a gift for the other, with ironic results.
The moral of the story is that physical possessions, however valuable they may be, are of little value in the grand scheme of things. The true unselfish love that the characters, Jim and Della, share is greater than their possessions.
O. Henry ends the story by clarifying the metaphor between the characters in the story, Della and James (or Jim), and the Biblical Magi. The Gift of the Magi features O. Henry's characteristic twist ending and use of flowery diction.

Thanks. I really didn't feel like actually reading this for English. Lol still have to take notes though!
I hate english class
Gavin McCoy same lmmmaooooo
And public speaking
You just dumb
Okay that's fair, but this is such a good story!! And i mean com on, the discussions for it would be amazing. First probably talking about the romantic aspect of how both characters sacrificed their most prized items for the other. But then maybe how Della was mostly panicking about how Jim won't love her without her hair. The whole thing is triadic and amazingly written.
