A Sacrifice for Love Della was a house wife. She lived in a shabby flat. Della’s husband was Jim. Jim was doing a job with a very low salary. The couple was living a miserable life, but they loved each other very much. Before Christmas Day, Della counted her money again and again. She saved the money by bargaining at the grocery, at the bakery and the butcher’s. She looked around the flat. The flat cost them 8 pounds per week. And there was an electric bell, but it did not work any longer. Then she stood by the window and looked out at a grey cat. The cat was walking along a grey fence in a grey backyard. Oh, the Christmas gift! She had been planning to buy a gift for her Jim, and the gift should be worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. She began to think about the happy days. She and Jim spent the happy days together. Oh, gone were those old days! Now they were so poor, but she did not know the reason. Where could she find something very nice for Jim? She was trying hard to find the place. Suddenly, she thought of the barbershop. The barbershop may buy her hair. Right, that was a good idea! If she sold her hair, she could buy a beautiful gift for Jim. She could not help imagining the moment. Jim would feel very surprised to see the gift at that moment. She decided to go out. She passed the mailbox. Usually no letter would go into the mailbox. She finally stopped at a barbershop. There was a sign saying “Hair Goods of All Kinds”

in front of the barbershop. With the money in her hand, she searched the stores for Jim’s present. She bargained with the gold watch-chain owner. She finally handed most of her money to the owner.
