The Gift of the Magi By William Sydney Porter Irony and Tension Storyboard Expectation: Della bought her husband a special gift he will enjoy and use with his prized possession.
What am I going to buy Jim with only one dollar and eighty-seven cents!? Any gift at this price is not worthy to give Jim!
Give it to me quick.
It's for Jim, he will love the wonderful give I can give him.
I hope Jim loves his watch strap dearly, and still thinks I am worthy of his marriage without long , flowing hair.
I sold my hair to buy you your Christmas present.
I hope he loves his gift so much that he forgets about my hair!
I can't believe we both sold our prized possessions to get the objects for each other's prized possessions!
I sold my watch to get you combs that you have desired.
