11.Book review -New yorkers short stories-

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. (p.1)


Today, I read "New yorkers short stories". It is oxford book worms library and written by O. Henry. There are 5 stories. A housewife, a tramp, a lawyer, a waitress, an actress -ordinary people living ordinary lives in New York. I'll introduce one story.
A poor madame only has one dollar and eighty-seven cents, so she can't buy a christmas present for her husband. One day, she sell her hair for twenty dollars and buy a chain for watch. That day of christmas, she gives her husband the chain, but he sold his watch because he buy combs for her. She don't has long hair now due to cutting her hair, and he don't have watch. They sold their famous thing for each other. It is very sad but interesting story, so please read it.

O. Henry. (1991). New yorkers short stories. Oxford: oxford bookworms library.
