Detailed Answer :
Lesson : The Gift of the Magi
Writer : O' Henry
Della said these words to her husband, Jim. She got her beautiful hair cut, and sold them to arrange money for her husband' christmas gift. When Jim came home in the evening and saw her hair gone, he stared at her with a strange expression. She couldn't understand his expression. She tried her best to explain things to him, saying that she had her hair cut ** and sold because she wouldn't have lived through christmas without giving him a present. To pacify him she said that her hair would grow again, awfully fast.
