I would like to know the name of the story where the poor married couple wants to give each other a gift so the wife sells her hair to buy a chain for her husbands pocket watch and he sells his watch to buy a comb for her hair. I saw it in a movie and heard about it as a Japanise folk tale but don't know what it is called.
Thanks,
V
.............It is not a folk tale..............It is a very famous short story written by O.Henry..........And the name of it is the Gift of Magi.........
thank you for the information
Yes it is by O Henry who wrote some of his work while in jail. It is one of my absolutely
favorite stories.
I agree. Sweet, ironic, profound...a true work of art.
Por una cabeza
Si ella me olvida
Qué importa perderme
Mil veces la vida
