The Gift of the Magiis ashort story wrote by O.Henry.This story tells that in the daybefore Christmas,a poor young couple exchanged gifts by sold themost precious thing of each,but resulted ordetracted, the twoprecious gifts all became useless things.While they got the mostprecious thing than any material objects——love.
After read this story,Ilearned how to respect others’ love and how to love others.In thisstory,they all lost the most valuable things——Jim’s golden watchand Della’s beautiful hair. Behind this, I saw they loved eachother infinitely.They loved their family, they let me feel thatcold Christmas Eve has become the warm heaven just because of theirgifts. If Della only took one dollar and eighty-seven cents to pickgift,this story will probably lacking of shocking, and also cannotcause readers’ thinking.
In this materialisticsociety, people often use money to measure gifts.When bags of giftswhich are packaging delicately in front of us,what can we seeexcept empty and blank? Parents feel happy because of our simplegreeting cards in their birthday,because of a few words ofblessing.These gifts,simple but true.It can’t be compared withthose which built with a lot of money, outlined by luxuriance. Whatclever gifts! In some sense, they are invaluable.
Yes,in this materialisticsociety,some people think money is everything,the one who ownsmoney,who owns all.No wonder a great amount of girls becamemammonists,and want to marry richers;no wonder more and more menthink that there is no true love,what girls love is their money.But I always believe sincere love is existed and it’s priceless.Even if you have millions of money, you can’t change it into truelove. Maybe money can let you get some feelings from girls, butthose are hypocritical. When you no longer possess vast wealth, thehypocritical feelings will ended and left you extremely painfulfinally.Jim and Della were a happy couple, although they were poor,living in short of money.In their hearts, money is not important,the important thing is the affection from each other.As long asthey have it, they felt happier than any millionaire.
Maybe some people willpour scorn on it and cannot understand what their done. If there isa good fortune and a sincere feeling in front of you at the sametime, which one will you choose? I wouldn't hesitate to choose thelater, because sincere feeling is priceless! I believe that truepay will have sincere return finally, and the one who have truelove can have his or her happiness.
Nowadays,more and morepeople have been pressed to lose their breath by the reality.Theyforgot the persons they love,and the persons who love them.We needto care about others,no matter how much money we have.What ourloved one need is how our concern about him or her. In someimportant days,don’t forget to bring him or her some gifts.Nomatter what is it,how valuable is it,he or she would like itanyway.
Because it is the gift ofthe Magi.
