一、原文文章：

Now, the James DillinghamYoungs had two very special things. One was Jim's gold watch. It once belongedto his father, and, before that, to his grandfather. The other special thingwas Della's hair.

Quickly, Della let downher beautiful, long hair. It fell down her back, and it was almost like a coataround her. Then she put her hair up again, quickly. For a second or two shestood still, and cried a little.

Then she put on her oldbrown coat, and her old brown hat, turned, and left the room. She wentdownstairs and out into the road, and her eyes were bright She walked along bythe shops, and stopped when she came to a door with' Madame Eloise-Hair' on it.Inside there was a fat woman. She did not look like an 'Eloise'.

“Will you buy my hair?'Della asked. 'I buy hair,' Madame replied. 'Take your hat off, then, and show me your hair. '

The beautiful brown hairfell down.

'Twenty dollars, ' Madamesaid, and she touched the hair with her hand.

'Quick! Cut it off! Giveme the money!' Della said. The next two hours went quickly. Della was happybecause she was looking round the shops for Jim's present.

At last she found it. Itwas a gold chain for The Watch. Jim loved his watch, but it had no chain. WhenDella saw this gold chain, she knew immediately that it was right for Jim. Shemust have it.

The shop took twenty-onedollars from her for it, and she hurried home with the eighty-sevencents.
