任何一門藝術(shù)都需要為之付出相當(dāng)多的熱情與汗水，劇本的創(chuàng)作也是一樣的，喜歡的朋友可要加油了。

　　The Gifts

　　Mon.：Tomorrow will be Christmas. But Della feels very sad. Because she has no money to buy a present for her husband , Jim . She has only one dollar and eighty-seven cents . They have only 20 dollars a week, it doesn’t leave much for saving.

　　In fact, Della and Jim have two possessions in which they both take very great pride. One is Jim’s gold watch, which has been his father’s and his grandfather’s. The other is Della’s long beautiful hair.

　　D: Life is so hard for me. Though I saved the money for many months , I still have only one dollar and eighty seven cents.

　　D: I---- I---- I have to have my hair cut and sold it . In that way I can get some money and I can buy a beautiful present for Jim.

　　(At the shop—“Madame Sofronie. We Buy Hair Goods of All Kinds”)

　　D: Will you buy my hair?

　　M: Yes, I buy all kinds of hair. Sit down, please. Take your hat off and let me have a look. Oh, very beautiful. Very good! Twenty dollars , OK?

　　D: All right. But please give it to me quickly.

　　M: Here you are. Twenty dollars.

　　D: Thank you. Bye.

　　M: Bye.

　　Mon.：Della spent two hours in the streets. Then she stopped at a Gold Shop and bought a gold watch chain. Now ,Della is at home.

　　D: Oh, what a beautiful gold watch chain. I think it must match Jim's watch. When he sees it he must be very happy .

　　(Suddenly the door opened and in came Jim . )

　　J: You-----?

　　D: Jim. Don’t look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold it because I couldn’t have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. Jim, it will grow quickly. You don’t mind, do you ? I just had to do it. My hair grows very fast, you know. Say “Merry Christmas!” Jim, and let’s be happy.
