Hello,
Nowadays, am reading a short sory called ''The Christmas Present''. I liked the characters and the them.
A poor family consisits of a husband and a wife. They live in a little room in New Yourk city.
At the Begining, we see the wife ''Della'' is suffering to save money. ''She still walked round and round the shops to find the cheapest food.'' She wants to save money as much as she can because tomorrow will be Christmas and she wants to buy her husband a good prestent.
Her husband has a job but barely he coud pay for the room.
She tried to find a job to help him but she couln't it.
She was so sad because the money she saved isn't enough ''to buy him something really fine, something to show how much she loved him.''

Blessed are the poor, because the kingdom of God belongs to the poor. God really blessed Della and her husband because he has not burdened them by giving children to them. If they had children both would have felt very sad. Isnt??

I don't think that if they had chilren both would have felt very sad. Vise versa, they'll be happy because the big matter for them is only love and sacrifice for it.
Della had to do something to buy Jim ''Her husband'' a nice gift. Della has a wonderful long hair. Now she is thinking of selling her beautiful hair! When she found a woment to sell her, her hair. Della said, "Quick! Cut it off! Give me the money!" Della was happy because finally she could buy Jim a "Gold Chain'' to his watch.
When she came back home,she looked at her hair. It was short. She was thinking about what her husband is going to say about it! She hopes that she still beautiful.
Now he came back home tired. He looked at her strangly. She explained to him what did she do with her hair and said,"I have a wonderful present for you!" Also, Jim has a present for Dilla. He took something from his pocket and put it on the table.
He told her not to worry about her beautiful hair beacuse he still loves her.
Now Dell opens her present. She surprised beause the present was a combs. Her beautiful hair has done. Also, "When she saw these sombs in the shop window, she wanted them. They were neautiful aombs" and expensive. Now she got them but with no long hair. That ment a lot of her and "her eyes were full of love." and toled Jim that her hair will be long again.
When she remembered her present, she quickly jumbed to give it to Jim. She said, "Now you'll want to look at your watch a hundred times a day." But Jim didn't give his watch to her. He smiled and told her that he sold the watch to get the money to buy her combs.
The lovers finally had their dinner.

I Loved that story and I have made my students readit at reading workshops. Short stories are like poems: they must be as flawless as possible. This story is one of such, as I see it.
