The perfect gift...

RESPOND TO THIS QUESTION:
What would you have done if you had been on him or her shoes? Why?

When I read this short story, I couldn't help to feel totally identified with the female character, Della, who so in love with Jim that she is willing to sacrifice her beautiful hair to buy a precious gift for him. When you are in love, sacrifices don't hurt a bit, just like Della: she didn't care about her hair or about anything else, she only wanted to make Jim happy. And this is what we want when we love somebody, to make that somebody happy no matter the cost. Just to see him smile because I surprised him with something that he wanted, it's such a satisfaction to me heart and soul...
