Jim and Delia
Read the text.
Jim and Delia were two young people, husband and wife. They loved each other dearly. The lived in a small room in an old house in one of the dirty streets of New York.
They worked from early morning till late at night, but they got very little money for their work. And still they had two things which were very dear to them — Jim's watch and Delia's beautiful hair.
Christmas was coming and Delia wanted to give Jim a nice present, but she had no money. She really did not know what to do. She sat on the sofa and began to cry. Suddenly an idea came to her. She got up and stood in front of the mirror and looked at her beautiful long hair. Then she left the house and in a few minutes she was already at the hairdresser's shop.
"Will you buy my hair?" she asked. The hairdresser looked at her hair and said,
"Yes, I will. It's fine hair. I can give you twenty dollars for it". Delia was very happy. She took the money and went to buy a present for her husband. In one of the shops she saw a very beautiful watch-chain. "I'll buy it, Jim will be і very glad", she said to herself. "He needs a chain for his watch".
So Delia bought a gold watch-chain as a Christmas present for Jim. When she got home, Jim was already there waiting for her. He looked at his smiling little wife and understood everything.
"Why did you do so?" he asked.
"Dear Jim, my hair will grow and I wanted to give you a present. Here it is", and she put the watch-chain into his hand:
The beautiful chain, Delia's present was of no use to him. He had sold his gold watch to buy a Christmas present for his wife. He took a packet out of his pocket and gave it to Delia. She opened it and saw two beautiful combs, the combs that she had seen in a shop window and wanted for so long.
