What is the true value of a gift?

O. Henry's beloved masterpiece, The Gift of the Magi, offers a timeless answer. Set on a cold Christmas Eve, this short story introduces us to the impoverished but deeply in-love couple, Della and Jim. With only meager savings, each desperately seeks to buy the other a worthy Christmas present, leading them to make profound personal sacrifices—each giving up their most treasured possession.

This is more than a Christmas short story; it is a profound parable about the meaning of wisdom and generosity. O. Henry's narrative is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, culminating in one of the most famous twist endings in literary history.

Cited as one of the best holiday tales ever written, The Gift of the Magi continues to touch hearts with its message that love, not material value, determines the worth of a sacrifice. It is the perfect Christmas tale to share with family and friends.

Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED: Last Sunday evening I spoke to you for a few minutes regarding the importance of determining to do the right thing in every phase of your school life. There are a few things that enter into student life which, in a very large degree, cause the untrue to fall by the wayside, and which prevent students from doing their very best. Among these things is the disposition to grow discouraged. Very many people, very many students, who otherwise would succeed, who would go through school creditably, graduating with honours, have failed to succeed because they became discouraged.
