Question

Use the passage from The Gift of the Magi below to answer the question.

Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the
window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow
would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been
saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far.
Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a
present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for
him. Something fine and rare and sterling-something just a little bit near to being worthy of
the honor of being owned by Jim.
