"This was the story of two young people who were very much in love"
I read "NEW YORKERS". The book is made up five short stories. These stories are different from each contents. But, the all stories are set in New York.
I was deeply impressed first story. The title is "The Christmas Presents". I will talk about the story.
Della and her husband Jim live in New York. They are very poor. Counting money, she had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents. Because the next day was Christmas, she wanted to send present for her husband. He has gold watch, but it had no chain. So, she thought of buying the chain. She has beautiful long hair, so she sold her hair for buying present. When she arrived shop, she looked at myself very short hair in the glass. 'What can I do with it?' she thought.
At seven o'clock the dinner was nearly ready. The door opened and Jim came in. Then he looked her face, but he was not angry or suprised. Suddenly Jim took something from his pocket and put it on the table. ' I love you, Della,' he said. Della pulled of the paper. A second later, there were combs. She wanted them, but she no longer had her hair! Della picked them up and held them. Her eyes were full of love. Next, She gave a present for him. But Jim didn't pleased. 'Della, I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. Let's keep our present for a time' he said. (258words)
