The gift of magi
The story the gift of magi is about a poor women who wants to buy a gift for Christmas and she only has $1.80. She cried on the couch because She can’t buy a gift for $1.80. Jim has a beautiful watch and she has beautiful hair. The only thing she wants to do is buy at least one present for his son Jim for only $1.87. It was a day before Christmas and she still has $1.87. Now it’s Christmas and she never bought anything for him.
The end…
The fir tree yessenia g.
Appreciate what you have. In the beginning the fir tree has everything however he is not happy because he is not tall. When he got decorated he got happy for a moment. Then he got sad again and still didn’t appreciate it.
The fir tree has everything like sun, fresh air, and friends. Although, he never appreciates what he had around him. He wished he was a boat for he could ship all over the world. He wants to e tall too.
In the end of the story he gets chopped down and they burned him, and he regrets what he had and never appreciated it so he can’t value it anymore. He is fire wood now.
He should have appreciated what he had with him and around him but he was too late and he is fir wood now. He had everything he could think of he had the sun and the fresh air. His only dream for him to come true is to be taller like his friends and be a ship.
My opinion of the story the fir tree is he has to appreciate what he has now until it’s too late for him. He has to live his life how it is now no matter if he’s short and not a ship. Just appreciate what you have and like it the way it is.

Don’t you sometimes think that giving is the best way to make somebody happy ? Well Rob learned that very same thing the day before Christmas.
One morning Rob was asleep and he had to get up to go help his father with chores. When suddenly he heard his father say some thing really nice. That made Rob think " my father really loves me". So the day before Christmas Rob thought. He didn't want to give his dad a tie like he did every year. He wanted to give him something very special. So he got up at 5:00 in the morning. He went to the barn and started milking the cows. He was so exited. His dad was going to go to the barn and see that the milking was done. So he did that and quickly went back to bed. His father went to the barn and found the milking done. He was so happy. He quickly ran to Robs room and hugged him. This was the best gift anybody had ever given him!
Rob learned that to make yourself happy you have to make somebody happy first. Rob was a very good boy and loved his father dearly. He knew his father loved him to!
So remember to make yourself happy you have to make somebody else happy first!

43 barbara padilla christmas day in the morning
Rob hears his dad talking to his mom saying how he didn't want to wake him. Rob then realizes that his father loves him, this little gesture that he just considered, meant a lot to rob.
Rob wanted to give his father an extraordinary present but they are to poor to buy anything. So he wakes up at 2:30 in the morning just to do all the chores that him and his fathers usually do together. When his dad wakes and sees this he is utterly surprised and very grateful.
Now in the present, rob gets up to write his wife a love letter. Because of the experience he had with his dad he retrieved love, and is now able to return the feeling. He thought that even this little act of writing something for his wife, will mean a lot to her and he will be able to express his true feelings for her.
