“The Gift of the Magi” is a short story written by O Henry. First published in 1905, the story is about a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money.
Framton Nuttel, a nervous man, has come to stay in the country for his health. He meets, Vera, a charming teenager, who plays a practical joke on him. The story’s surprise ending, its witty, concise narrative, and its slightly sinister tone are all trademarks of Saki’s fiction.
