The Gift of the Magi is one of many short stories written by O. Henry (1862-1910). Love and sacrifice are the dominant themes in this story. It concludes with an ironic twist. In fact, I use this story to teach my eighth graders the literary term of irony. Despite a few challenging vocabulary words, it can be easily understood, read aloud, and discussed in about thirty minutes. Again, this is a great story to teach not only about love and sacrifice but irony as well. Highly recommended.

Not the original version
The story has been changed from the original O. Henry version. Instead of a husband and wife, the characters are a brother and sister. I wish I had known this before I bought it for my husband for Christmas.
