BR17: New Yorkers: Short Stories

'Quick! Cut it off! Give me the money!' Della said. (p.4)

I read "New Yorkers: Short Stories". The book has five short stories. The stories are so interesting. Especially, I like the first story, The Christmas Presents. This is a poor couple's story. Della had beautiful hair, but she cut it off to buy his Christmas present. She choose a gold chain for his watch. Her boyfriend, Jim, gave her the combs for her beautiful hair. To buy it, he sold his watch. I thought they are a great couple because they sell their treasures to buy presents for each other. I long for their relation.
