And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. They are the magi.” (354) bvnguyen111 https://padlet.com/acta101/qghgf0jrg82a/wish/284211486 Both Della and Jim gave up their most prized possessions(Della´s hair and Jim´ś watch) that gave themselves pride because they wanted to give their partner a valuable present that they could use with their most prideful possessions, which the gifts the couple gave each other symbolizes sacrifice and their love for each other.
