2007-03-21T00:03:02Z

The Gift of the Magi

2006-12-25T13:12:27Z

by O. Henry One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputa...
