Della picked them up and held them. Her eyes were full of love.
'But my hair will soon be long again, Jim.'
And then Della remembered. She jumped up and cried, 'Oh! Oh! She ran to get Jim's beautiful present, and she held it out for him.
'Isn't it lovely, Jim? I looked everywhere for it. Now you'll want to look at your watch a hundred times a day. Give it to me! Give me your watch, Jim! Let's see it with its new chain.'
But Jim did not do this. He sat down, put his hands behind his head, and smiled.
'Della,' he said. 'Let's keep our presents for a time. They're so nice. You see, I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now, let's have dinner.'
And this was the story of two young people who were very much in love.
