Try this The Gift Of The Magi by O. Henry: Della and Jim are a young couple living in poverty. They both wanted to get each other Christmas gifts but neither could afford anything expensive. Della sold her most prized possession, her long beautiful hair, to buy Jim a pocket watch chain for his old pocket watch he cherished so much. Jim sold his pocket watch to buy Della the set of combs she had been wanting to decorate her hair with. In the end they found out what their gifts were and both were overwhelmed by their sacrifice and generosity to each other.
