Explanation:

  This is the story of a young couple, Jim and Della, who were very poor and live in a very small modest apartment. Christams Eve was coming and Della had only $1,87 to buy her precious husband a gift. She felt to sad because she didn't know what to buy with such amount of money. She had an idea. She had a beautiful long hair, which she knew was worth than a Queen's jewel. She went to a shop and sold her hair for $20. Now she could buy Tim a chain for hist most precious watch, which had belong to his father and before that to his grandfather. She felt so happy! But she was worried what her husband would think of her hair. It was really short now. Tim arrived home and he looked at her as if something was different. She knew he noticed. She was worried he wouldn't find her pretty anymore. He told her he bought her a present and gave her a box. It had hair combs but they were useless now. She kept on saying her hair would grow so she didn't mind. Now it was time for Della to give him the present, the watch chain.Tim told her he had sold his watch to pay for that gift.

At the end, the author mentions the Magi, the three wise men who visited Baby Jesus in the manger and gave him gifts. He makes a comparison with the couple stating that they were not wise as the Magi because they sold the most valuable things they have (i.e hair and watch). However, the author then says that the sacrifce they made had been worth it. They acted out of love and sacrifice, which is the wisest thing to do.
