A poor young couple demonstrates the meaning of love and self-sacrifice in the Christmas Classic, The Gift of the Magi. Also included is the Last Leaf. This tale follows a young woman artist who is stricken with pneumonia. She watches the leafy vine opposite her window with hollow eyes, and she determines to stay alive until the last leaf falls. O. Henry, always a master with the surprise ending, delivers two fine tales of his beloved New York City.
