The Endowment of the Magi" is a short story, composed by O. Henry (a nom de plume for William Sydney Watchman), about a youthful a couple and how they manage the test of purchasing mystery Christmas presents for each other with next to no cash. As a wistful story with an ethical lesson about present giving, it has been well known for adjustment, particularly for introduction at Christmas time. The plot and its bend finishing are notable, and the completion is for the most part thought about a case of comic incongruity. It was supposedly composed at Pete's Bar on Irving Spot in New York City.

Between them, they have just two belonging that they think about their fortunes: Jim's gold pocket watch that had a place with his dad and his granddad, and Della's radiant, long hair that falls nearly to her knees.

It's Christmas Eve, and Della winds up coming up short on time to purchase Jim a Christmas exhibit. In the wake of paying the majority of the bills, all Della has left is $1.87 to put toward Jim's Christmas show. Frantic to discover him the ideal blessing, out she goes into the frosty December day, looking in shop windows for something she can manage.

Surging home, Della pulls down her delightful hair and stands before the mirror, respecting it and considering. After a sudden motivation, she surges out again and has her hair style to offer. Della gets $20.00 for offering her hair, sufficiently only to purchase the platinum chain she found in a shop window for $21.00.

At the point when Jim returns home from work, he gazes at Della, endeavoring to make sense of what's distinctive about her. She concedes that she sold her hair to purchase his present. Before she can offer it to him, nonetheless, Jim calmly hauls a bundle out of his jacket pocket and hands it to her.
