Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far.

(내일은 크리스마스인데, 짐에게 선물을 사줄 수 있는 돈은 1.87달러밖에 없었다. 몇 달 동안 아낀다고 아꼈지만 결과는 이거였다. 주급 20달러로는 남는 게 없다. 지출은 계산했던 것보다 더 컸다. 지출이란 원래 그렇다.)- The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
