D: Jim, you don’t know what a nice –what a beautiful , nice gift I’ve got for you. Can you guess?

D: Look. A gold watch chain. Isn’t it lovely ,Jim? I hunted all over the town to find it. You’ll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it .
J: Della, Let’s put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They’re too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money. And I bought the combs. Now, Let’s have our supper.

礼物
旁白：明天是圣诞节,但是德拉觉得很难受,由于她无钱为她丈夫吉姆买一圣诞礼物,,他们一个月只有20美元的收入,那很难再从中省钱了.
事实上,德拉和吉姆有两件让他们引以为豪的珍宝,一件是吉姆的金表,那是从他祖父和父亲那里留传下来的,还有一件是德拉那一头棕发,又长又漂亮.
德拉：生活对我来说很困难,虽然我许多个月以前就开头存钱了,.
德拉：我……我……我不得不剪了头发去卖掉,那样我就能得到一些钱去买礼物给吉姆了.
（在店门口,写着“夫人：我们买各种各样的头发”）
