Answer 2

Is it the gift of Magi by O. Henry? The narrator compares the Dillinghams to the Magi. Magi were wise men who established the custom of gifting Christmas presents. Here, they sacrificed the greatest possessions of themselves to get money for buying presents. Inspire of being poor, they gifted each other the most precious presents ever. But they lost the greatest treasures of their family. Sacrifice is the symptom of love. It was an innocent act of their love. Hence, their wiseness exceeded the Magi. The narrator also stated such to give a surprise ending of the story.
