Their sacrifice brings them closer together from "summary" of The Gift of the Magi (Illustrated) by O. Henry

The young couple, Della and Jim, found themselves facing a dilemma - they both wanted to give each other a special gift for Christmas, but they had very little money to spare. Despite their financial hardship, they were determined to find a way to show their love and appreciation for one another. Della, with her long beautiful hair, decided to sell it in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's prized pocket watch. Jim, on the other hand, sold his watch to buy a set of combs for Della's hair. These sacrifices seemed extreme to some, but to Della and Jim, it was a testament to the depth of their love and devotion to each other. Their selfless acts of sacrifice not only demonstrated their willingness to go to great lengths for each other, but it also revealed the true essence of their relationship. Through their sacrifices, they showed that material wealth was not as important as the love they shared. In giving up something precious to them, Della and Jim found a deeper connection with each other. They realized that it was not the gifts themselves that mattered, but the sentiment behind them. Their sacrifices brought them closer together, strengthening their bond and solidifying their love for one another. In the end, Della and Jim's sacrifices may have seemed extravagant, but in reality, it was a simple yet powerful expression of their love and devotion. Through their actions, they learned that true happiness and fulfillment come from giving selflessly to those we care about.
