The correct answer to this open question is the following.
When we read the story "Gift of the Magi." written by American author O. Henry in 1905, the essence of the story is Della and Jim, wife and husband that are thinking about what to give as a Christmas present to each other, They are a poor couple and do not have enough money to buy Christmas gifts. So they both have to make sacrifices. She sold her long hair and Jim, the husband, sold his watch to buy combs for Della's' hair.
So yes, the moral of the story is that "Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued." When someone loves another "special" one, you make sacrifices in order to make him or her happy. No matter the circumstances. And that is what these couples do. Their intentions were good. They both got rid of something valuable in order to make the other happy with a present. And that counts!
Answer:"Bold" was all I could think about his plan
To just go fishing and not go to school
Brilliant was what it was - on or off hand -
All who saw it that day thought it was cool
Worms was what was lacking - and that was all
So I dug around until bait was had
Slimy things fishing worms, just a gross ball,
But it's a thing for bringing fish to hand
So slipping out a school room door that day-
Two boys, a can of worms, a fishing plan -
Until Mrs Smith then caught on to our play
And stuck a hand into our wormy can
Sounds that I did not know - but did Mrs Smith
Still may stay in that school room air forthwith

He will no longer use bullying as a means of getting what he wants. He offered the lady to come and see the schwith with him during their conversation. The other youngsters were relieved.
