Text 1. “Two Gifts”

Jim and Della were a newly married couple. They loved each other but they were very poor. They rented a small room in one of the dirty streets in the outskirts of New York.

They worked from early morning till late at night but they got very little money for their work. And still they had two treasures – Jim’s gold watch and Della’s beautiful hair.

Christmas holidays were coming and Della thought of presenting Jim with something but she had no money for it. She really did not know what to do. She sat on the sofa and began to cry. Suddenly an idea came to her mind. She got up and stood in front of the looking glass. She saw her beautiful long hair in it. She left the house and in a few minutes she was already at the hairdresser’s shop.

“Will you buy my hair?” she asked. The hairdresser looked at her hair and said, “Yes, I shall. I can give 20 dollars for it.”

Della was very happy. She took the money and went to buy a present for her husband. Soon she saw a very beautiful chain. “I’ll have it, Jim will be very glad,” she said to herself and bought it.

When she came home Jim had been there waiting for her. When he looked at his wife he understood everything. “Why did you do it?” he said.

“Dear Jim, I wanted to give you a present. Here it is.” She gave him a chain that she bought for his watch. But the beautiful chain, Della’s present, was of no use for him. The matter was that he had sold his watch to make a present to his wife. He took a package out of his pocket and gave it to Della. When she opened it, she saw two nice combs.

Once a rich lady phoned the manager of the London Opera House. She said that she wanted to arrange a party and would like to invite one of their well-known singers.

The manager answered that he would make all the necessary arrangements about it. He passed the lady’s invitation to Mr. Roy, the best singer of the theatre. The man had to accept the invitation though he didn’t feel well enough to go to the party after the performance.

However, he took a taxi and a few minutes later came to the lady’s house.

The lady was pleased to see him, but she told him to have supper with the servants. Mr. Roy said nothing. He went to the kitchen, enjoyed his supper and after it sang to the servants with whom he had had supper. The lady didn’t expect him to stay there so long and called him, as she was not pleased with the delay.

“Will you sing something for us?” she asked him.
