This is for the story "The Gift of the Magi"

Why do you think the author says that these two are "the wisest"? Answers should be at least 125 words long.

Self sacrifice, love and generosity

Explanation:

"The Gift of the Magi" is written by O. Henry- is a simple tale, well structured story of self-sacrifice, love, togetherness and generosity with an ironic twist.

He writes:

"Here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest . . . They are the magi"

The gift of the magi would be the illustration of love being greater than the possession, a spiritual enlightenment of Jim and Della. Living in New York City with such adversary and poverty, they realize that love is more about giving. Hence, these two kids are "the wisest".
