We're in a cell block in the Indiana State Prison.
You won't be makin' no more of them prison shoes.
I didn't mind the work. I get pretty good at it.
Ten to one you'll be back at that sewing machine in a year.
I've got a pardon here from the governor. Don't know what the man's thinking of.
The governor's a friend of a friend of mine. 州長是我朋友的朋友
Ten months out for a four-year sentence for bank robbery, and you're out.
I was railroaded. 我是被誣陷入獄的
yeah, that job in kokomo?
I was never in Kokomo in my life. Can't even pronounce it.
Here's your paper. You're entitled to a suit of clothes and five dollars.
What happened to the tailor-made suit I was wearing when I came in here?
that was confiscated.
I hope it fits you, warden. And, and thank the State of Indiana for the suit and the fiver.
You ought to watch your tongue, Valentine. You'll be back here one of these days. Mark my
words.
That's another round on me.
Just got off the train.
Duley, take the bar. I'll be in the back room. come on, Jimmy . Let me look at you.
you don't look too bad for ten months in the 'stir'.
I was hoping it wouldn't be that long.
oh,Jimmy, you won't believe how tough it is getting things to work out with the governor.
He's getting independent; he's forgotten who got him elected.
your room upstairs, by the way, is just the way you left it.
Good, I wanna get out of these prison duds.
They sure don't suit you. Here, here have a nip.
I never touch the hard stuff. My suitcase up there?
everything's there,just the way you left it when they picked you up.
I wouldn't wanna lose those tools.
That's big investment.
And you're going back to work right away,huh?
how can you think such a thing? I am here representing the New York Amalgamated Short
Snap Biscuit Cracker and Frazzled Wheat Company.
you're a card you are. But getting serious.
That's the first time I've done time, and I don't like it. I don't plan to do anymore.
But you're the best there is, Jimmy. No one, I say no one can crack a safe like you can.
Is that cop still around?
He's a big man now. He got promoted while you was in the pokey.
He's the head man now, the commissioner. He was in here yesterday for a beer. Asked after
ya.
What did he want to know?
Commissioner Price speaking.Where? Ellenville?How much did they get?
Five thousand? That's a good night's work.Clean as a whistle, eh? All right,
we'll get to work on it.
I hope he has a letter from Joe for me.
This is Elmore. That's where you wanted, hey mister.
look at him. He's a swell.
And he's, well, awfully good looking.
She's trying to say that's the Planters Hotel.
Right down the street there across from the bank.
If I'm not being too forward, almost as pretty as some of its inhabitants.
What a nice thing for you to say.Are you from Indianapolis?
I'm from the East. But I've spent some months in Indiana.
Are you going to be here in Elmore long?
Are you going to...to stop at the hotel?
That's my thought.
I must go down that way anyhow. you see my father owns the bank just across the street.
I'd be glad of your company. Shall we go?
Let me get my bike here, and I'll walk along with you.
Everything's so up-to-date here in Elmore, a boardwalk and boardwalk and everything.
I'd have bet a hundred dollars you were married. You're much too pretty not to be.
I'm a loner.
What do you do? I mean, what kind of work?
What do I do? Well, I've been in several businesses. I'm thinking of opening a shoe store
We could use a good shoe store in Elmore. There isn't anybody here in that business.
We have to buy our shoes at Mr. Barrington's dry goods store, and his selection isn't very
good.
Is that a fact?
if you needed money to open a store, I'd bet my father would lend it to you.
She's a forward little minx speaking to a total stranger like that, but I love her just the same.
She says you're thinking of opening up a shoe store here in Elmore.
I'm giving it some thought, Mr. Adams. I just thought I'd stop b y and get your opinion about
the opportunity here in this town.
you couldn't find a better opportunity anywhere than right here in Elmore.
We're going to get a spur from the railroad pretty quick.I predict Elmore
will double its population in the next five year.
I'd be glad to arrange a loan for you, if you need to open you store.
That's nice of you, Mr. Adams, but I'm pretty well-fixed at the moment.
And I own a business block over on Washington Street. That 's where everybody shops.
There's an empty store there that would be just right for your purposes.
You sure ou don't need money?
I never was one to turn down money from a bank.
I like the cut of your jib, young man. I'll set you up in business.
And I want you to come to my home, meet my other daughter,Audrey. she and her two
little ones are living with me while her husband is serving with the Army in Cuba.
Lost my wife two years ago.
You come for dinner tonight,and we'll talk about your future here in Elmore.
That's up to you. What have you heard from your buddy, Jimmy Valentine?
I haven't heard of the boy boy in months.
A fellow came into my office the other day, said he'd seen a picture of Valentine in the
newspaper.
Is that a fact now? Probably posing with some socialite, huh?
No, it was a mug shot. We asked them to print it.
This fellow said he recognized Jimmy right away from the train outside of Ellenville,
about six weeks ago. Jimmy said he was thinking of going into the shoe business.
Because Jimmy got off at Ellenville, and that night someone cracked the bank there.
Got away with five thousand dollars. This's why.
I'm glad you came by, Ralph. I wanted to show you around the band. I'm mighty proud of
this place, you know? Built it up from scratch.
It's a fine looking institution, Mr. Adams.
We've been in business for 35 years. We started out in a little ( one-room building )
on Jefferson Street, and now look at us!
You've got a humdinger here.
Five employees. Assets over $250,000. the is Bill Gregory, out head teller.
Pleased to meet you,Mr. Spencer.
And this is our vault. Of course it's a little old...lot of newfangled developments since we put
this one in 10 years ago.
Be a breeze. What's that you say?I'm going to ... sneeze! God bless you.
Never been broken into. However a banker friend over there in Ellenville was broken into a
few weeks ago. Robber got five thousands dollars, so I'm takin' no chances.
I've ordered another vault door with all the newest wrinkles. Be here in six months or so they
tell me.
That's sound thinking, Mr. Adams.
I'm so proud of you, Ralph. what you've done in less than a year is just wonderful.
I want you to know what I've done it just for you.
Before I met you, I wasn't ....wasn't the kind of person you'd want to marry.
I can't believe that.
It doesn't matter; you've given a whole new meaning to my life.
I can't wait to be married; I can't wait for us to start a family.
Store's done pretty well.
you're one of the most prosperous merchants in town.I was going to keep this a secret.
It's the first anniversary of the day you opened the store, silly. And do you know what daddy's
going to do?
It's a surprise.
Don't worry. Oh, you'll be so pleased.
music playing, sounds of celebration
Ladies and Gentlemen ! I've asked the town fathers to erect this (speaker stand) here in front
of Spencer Shoe Store,
so that I can make a little speech this afternoon to my friends and neighbors. First, I wanna
make an announcement, My daughter Annabel, whom you folks
all know, is going to be married two weeks from today, and the lucky fellow who has won
her hand,is none other than Ralph D. Spencer.
All right. This, this seems like a good time to announce the wedding date, because today is
the first anniversary of a highly successful now business here in Elmore - the greatest little city
in Indiana - Ralph D . Spencer Shoe Store. I want to say a few words about Ralph D.Spencer.
A fine citizen of this town you could not meet. Honest, right down to the ground; I trust him
with the last dollar in my bank. You've heard of 'Honest Abe'? Well, now meet Honest Ralph.
I couldn't find a better man to be my son-in-law.

I'll just mosey out to Elmore.
I'll tell you why I sent Duley lookin' for you. I got a letter here from Jimmy Valentine.
I ain't heard from him in a dog's age. Where is he?
Dear old pal, you haven't heard from me in the past year, and I guss you're wondering what
happened to me.Well, Mike
I'm out of the business. Yep, I've gone straight.
Gone straight? The boy's sick!
there's more, even worse:
I've opened up a shoe store in a little town I won't tell you the name of.
And as soon as possible I'm moving to California to get away from Ben Price.
I'm going to bring the tools with me. You know they're worth a lot. I want you to give them to
Joe Casper.
It's enough to make a fella cry. A real gentleman-Gentleman Jimmy.
Joe taught me all I know. Will you get in touch with him, and tell him to meet me at your place
next Wednesday afternoon?
I'm a happy man. I've got a whole new life ahead of me.

I'm glad you could come for breakfast, son. You don't mind if I call you son, do you, Ralph?
after all...
No, sir. I'm honored.
I wish your mother was here. She'd be so happy. Well, we'd better get (on our way ).
Ouch! Mommy! Mommy! Tell Billy to stop pulling my hair!
Billy, you behave yourself.
She started it. I'm going to put her in jail.
Billy, behave yourself. Now , first we'll go down to the bank and see the safe. They
finished installing it last evening, Ralph, and we're putting it in operation this morning.
I'm very proud of it. and Ralph, I appreciate you ( advice on ) the kind of vault door to buy.
it's dandy! Where'd you ever learn so much about that kinda thing?
When I graduated from college, I want to work for a bank vault company, but it wasn't my
line.
Well, now you have to get your suitcase if we're gonna take you to the train after we finish
at the bank.
I'll pick it up at the hotel and meet you at the bank.
Good. All right everybody. Come on, kids, out of the house, and into the carriage.
It's still five minutes before we open the doors.
You are as responsible as anyone for this improvement to our vault.
Granddaddy, could you lock someone up in there?
Of course not. This is not for people, It's for money.
a person could walk right in- like this.
Now you stay out of there, May. and Billy, keep your hands off that thing.
It looks very, very strong.
It's the best you can buy.
Gregory, there's somebody standing at the door out front. See what he wants.
Tell him we don't open till nine o'clock.
The police?!
Keep your voice down!
I didn't mean to. I was just playing.
My grandson locked his sister in the safe.
The clock hasn't been wound, and the combination's not set.
there has to be a way to open it!
See if there's anyone, Good Lord, there's no one this side of Indianapolis.
There's only one man I know who could...
Hello, Commissioner. Where did you come from?
Just dropped by to pay me respects.
In my suitcase I have some tools that might do the trick.
Annabel, that rose you're wearing on your dress - give it to me, will you.
Thank you. Now give me room, everybody.
Drilling noises.
You've got to save her.
He's drilling through to the tumblers.
If anyone can, he can.
there, that should do it.
It's a miracle.
So, Ben, got around to me at last huh?
you're a hero!
No, Annabel, no. It can't be. All right, Ben, let's go!
Now, now just a minute, Mr. "Spencer."
I think you must be mistaken.
I never saw you before in my life. I've got the wrong man. Good day, all.
And that's the end of our story; an ending with a real "O. Henry twist "

【有機寶石知識】玳瑁，被稱為“海洋裡的軟黃金”
玳瑁其實是海龜，沒錯，是海龜的一種。今天這裡不是講海龜，我們講的是另一種東西——玳瑁有機寶石。
這個玳瑁跟海龜也是有關的，對，玳瑁有機寶石指玳瑁海龜的背甲，為非晶質體，呈微透明至半透明，具蠟質至油脂光澤。
這是漢樂府詩《孔雀東南飛》中對劉蘭芝裝扮的描寫，你可能對這句詩有印象，但你未必對“玳瑁”有多少認識，它怎麼就創造了2200多年的歷史，又為何被奉為“海底軟黃金”，這種祥瑞幸福之物的背後到底有著怎樣精彩的故事？我們一起來看看吧。
玳瑁龜壽命可長達1500年
玳瑁古名瑁、文甲，英文名為Eretmochelysimbricata，是一種生活在熱帶深海底的爬行動物。因其壽命可長達1500年，且背上又有十三塊狀如盾形、分三行做覆瓦狀排列的鱗片，所以，玳瑁又叫“十三鱗”、“長壽龜”。玳瑁鱗片材料珍稀，質地晶瑩剔透，花紋清晰美麗，色澤柔和明亮，用它做成的工藝飾品光彩奪目，寶氣華盛，品位高貴典雅，是一種神奇而不可思議的“海洋瑰寶”。
與象牙、犀牛角一樣，玳瑁是一種有機寶石。在寶石分類中，玳瑁被列入有機寶石類。其用途廣泛，自古以來深得歷代貴族或商賈富客之寵愛，被視為傳世之寶，是萬壽無疆之象徵，玳瑁的背甲可以用來製作精美的裝飾品，漢代的著名詩篇《孔雀東南飛》中就有“足下躡絲履，頭上玳瑁光”的詩句。
玳瑁神奇的藥用價值
自古以來，民間廣泛流傳，玳瑁製品具有驅邪、祛病之功效。當人體有恙時，其飾品顏色的深淺將隨身體的變化而變化。現代醫學臨床驗證，玳瑁工藝製品能降血壓、蔬經脈、鎮驚厥
平心氣之功效，對協調和平衡人體內循環系統具有顯著的療效。因此，玳瑁工藝品日益走俏，價格一路猛漲。

美元單位與價格說法
from http://twolightplanet.blogspot.tw/2014/02/blog-post_893.html
美金的單位簡單地對照成中文是「元.角分」，比如「$50.51」就是「50元5角1分」，「$0.50」就是「5角」或「50分」。
「元」的英文就是「dollar」，「角」是「dime」，「分」是「cent」。整理如下：
元 = dollar
角 = dime
分 = cent
$0.01 = 1 cent
$0.10 = 1 dime = 10 cents
$0.50 = 50 cents
$1 = 1 dollar = 100 cents
但除此之外美元還有很多單位，總結如下：
$.01 = 1 cent = a penny
$.05 = 5 cents = a nickel
$.10 = 10 cents = a dime
$.25 = 25 cents = a quarter
$1.00 = 1 dollar = a buck
fiver 【口】【美】五元鈔票
美語的價格說法
美語裡價格的說法有完整的和簡化的，比如說，「$1.25」完整的說法是「one dollar and twenty five cents」但也可以簡單地說「one twenty-five」。但是要注意，超過一千（四位數）時就不能簡化了，只能說完整版的。
$1.33 → one dollar (and) thirty-three cents / one thirty-three
$13.79 → thirteen dollars (and) seventy-nine cents / thirteen seventy-nine
$110.99 → one hundred ten dollars and ninety-nine cents / one-ten ninety-nine
$134.10 → one hundred thirty-four dollars and ten cents / one thirty-four ten
$765.15 → seven hundred sixty-five dollars and fifteen cents / seven sixty-five fifteen
小數點後有零
遇到小數點後面有零時，零會直接唸成英文字母「o」，而不會唸「zero」。
$1.07 - one o seven
$199.01 - one ninety nine o one
四位數以上（超過一千）不可簡短
$3,495.99 → 3 thousand 4 hundred 95 dollars and 99 cents
百 100 hundred
千 1,000 thousand
百萬 1,000,000 million
十億 1,000,000,000 billion
兆 1,000,000,000,000 trillion

That sound you hear is an elevated train rushing up Sixth Avenue in New York City.
The year is 1902. It's a different world. ( One where ) a cup of coffee costs a nickel,
a postage stamp costs two cents, and that's what you pay for daily paper - two cents.
Can you hear the clopping of horses' hoofs and the creak of wagons ?
There's hardly an automobile of any sort; they haven't caught on yet.
And over there at the corner of 16th Street is Gorman's rooming house.
Mrs. Gorman gets eight dollars a week for that dingy little room right on the elevated train tracks. It 's rented by Jim and Della Young.
They've been married a year, and they're oh-so-in-love.
Jim has just come home from his job as a draftsman in an architect's office.
It's fierce to have to work that hard for twenty dollars a week . but thing will get better.
Kids across the street singing Christmas carols.
It's Monday, so day after tomorrow is Christmas.
Christmas is going to be so skimpy this year.
we don't even have a Christmas tree
You do love my hair, don't you?
I never saw anything like it.
We've gotta gotta get out of this place; I can't even kiss my girl in peace and quiet.
Look how big the flakes are. Won't last long.
好大的雪花片片，下不了多久的
Still a lot of people out shopping.
Look at them all over there in front of the jewelry shop. I wonder what' s got
them hooked.
Putting the rings on his toes,huh?
Excuse me, sir what's the crowd about?
Claim they have the largest topaz in the world in the window there. I think it's glass.
It's too heavy. You'd have to put your hand in a sling.
Certainly is a big one.
It would be just right with your granddaddy's watch.
It says so right there beside it. That's more than a week's pay for me. come on.
I'm gonna make this town sit up and take notice.(make +O+Vo 句型)
You'll have the world's largest topaz, and tortoise shell combs in that beautiful hair;
and the combs will be inlaid with diamonds. you wait and see.
Della get down the little jar( where she kept the pennies and nickels she'd been so carefully saving )ever since their wedding day.
What can I buy him for a dollar eighty-seven cents?
You and Jim have a fight or something?
But you look like you're about ti burst into tears.
that's all I've got( in the world )to buy a Christmas present for Jim.
What can I get for a dollar eighty-seven cents, for heaven's sakes?

What in the world did you ask for?
I saw a rocking chair in the furniture store down the street for a dollar and a half. 一塊半
He'll treasure all his life.
That would set you back some.
Sell my hair? You can't be serious.
How long is your hair?
Golly, it reaches below your knees!
Another girlfriend of mine sold her hair, not to Madam Sofronie, but that one really cut it
pretty short. I've gotta be honest with you.
And then what did your friend do? I mean, how did she fix her hair?
She put it up in curls, you know. And I've got to say,
she kinda looked like one of those Coney Island chorus girls.
You're getting set to do it, are't you!
Maybe.let's go down and talk to that Madam Sofronie.
I was thinking about a gold bracelet, maybe, Or...or even one of those,
you know, pearl necklaces with the cultured pearls, but forget it .
After ( the pay cut ) we got, it's not in the cards.
after : 介係詞
Della and I even priced them. Do you know how much they are?
Twenty-five bucks!
Ew! This's highway robbery.
that's what the clock ( out there ) says.
I told you it belonged to my grandfather.
You fellas going to spend the whole morning gossiping, like a couple of old ladies over the back fence?
Back across town, Della and Mabel are standing in the street in front of a shop (bearing a sign)
which reads, " Hair Goods, Bought and Sold - Madam Sofronie."
That thing sure makes a peck of noise.
I'm half scared to death.
if you decide you don't what to do it, you can always leave.
Is there anyone here ?
I'm comin'. I'll be there right away.
Let your hair down, Del, so she can see what she's buying.
isn't that a fine-looking head of hair.
Della here wants to know how much you'll pay her for her hair.
but cut it off just below the shoulders.
that's two and a half feet or so...Twelve dollars.
If you cut it off close, what would you give her?
she's got an Irish temper. You're as Irish as I am.
I thought "Sofronie" would be Italian or something.
I'm as Irish as Paddy's pig.
My born name's O'Callahan. Sofronie was my husband.
It has the right sound for the hair business. kinda chic, don't you think?
It surely is.
thank you very much, Madam Sofronie, for your time.
It bein' the Christmas season and all...twenty dollars it is. but I want
you to understand I'll be cuttin' it pretty close.
A Christmas present from me to you.
Let's get on with it. here, sit right down here in this chair. I'll get me scissors.
It'll only take a minute, girl. I'll have it off in no time at all.
You're getting twenty dollars. That's what you want, and that's what you want,
and that's what you need to buy the present for Jim, so don't lose your nerve.
You can look in the mirror or not as you like.
Might as well look. You're gonna have to face up to it sometime.
Your hubby will say he never saw the like.
My hubby will kill me, and I won't blame him.
you see how quick it is; I'm half done already.
there must be two pounds of it here.
Your head's going to feel a whole lot lighter,girl
Now there's a girl with a head on her shoulders. I'll get it for you right away.
it's in the backroom.
I'll need all the luck I can get.
The damage was done. Del and Mabel hurried home through the snow to see if
there was any way to conceal, repair or improve the carnage wrought by Madame
Sofronie's busy scissors.
We need to light the gas on the stove so we can heat the curling iron.
look how I look, isn't that the worst?
It's not as though you lost an arm or a leg or something.
it's just hair, and it'll grow back again. So it will take a little time. So what?
So, meantime he'll fall in love with somebody with beautiful long hair like I used to have-
that's so what.
Look, honey, just put your mind on that platinum watch fob you're going to buy Jim.
Just remember, you got a twenty-dollar gold piece to buy it with.
Now, let's get to work on your hair, We're going to make it all little curls, all over your head.
Jim will love it.
But finally the job was done, and any fair-minded person would have to agree that Della
looked as cute as a bug's ear. Her head was all-over curls. She did look a little boyish. and
in the fashions of the time, that was somewhat out of place, but she tried to ignore the long stares as she and Mabel hurried across the street late in the afternoon to Mr. Feldstein,
the jeweler where (the precious platinum watch fob) lay.
Will you stop that? You're getting me nervous. Of course he hasn't sold it. Here we are.
Let's get through the crowd here.
It's gone! It was right there beside the topaz.
I will be with you in a moment.
I have a customer.
The customer left a deposit in the watch fob at noon today, and he said that he would be by by five o'clock to pick it up. But the watch fob is sold.
if he doesn't get here by five o'clock we'll simply sell the watch fob to someone else.
She has the money right there in her purse. and if he isn't here by five o'clock, at
one second after five, we want that watch fob.
The minutes ticked by. Della and Mabel kept their eyes fastened on the front door to the store.
Every time a man walked in, the girls' heart sank. but, no one asked for the watch fob.
your own clock up there on the wall is saying it.
a gold piece and four quarters. 一枚二十塊金幣和四枚兩毛五
These ladies want to purchase the platinum watch fob - the one there's a deposit on.
The customer said he would be by to pick it up at five o'clock.
I think we ought to give the customer who put down the deposit...uh... a moment or
two of grace.
Wrap up the watch fob, Henry, and make a pretty package of it for this pretty young lady.
that's the nicest thing you ever said.
Pretty as a picture, and I hope your husband enjoys the watch fob and appreciates it.
I hope it looks wonderful on his watch. Merry Christmas to you.
what a noble thing to do for her husband, I wish to him...well, never mind.
Henry brought back the watch fob, wrapped in the most beautiful paper Mr. Feldstein could provide. Now Della was radiant and full to bursting with the Christmas spirit.
As they crossed Sixth Avenue, the girls heard the carolers who had been there the night before.
Jim probably won't be home till seven o'clock. Let's stop and listen a minute.
I'd better be getting home. I wanna get things tidied up before I have to face Jimmy
with my boy's haircut. I feel so much better now, now that I have his present right here in my
hand.
It's what I give him that counts with me. I suppose it'll be something simple: a box of
candy or something, because he's just as broke as I am, and he doesn't have any hair
to sell.
That's the first laugh I've heard out of you today.
I know, but I'm still scared.
Della dropped Mable at the door, then she primped and tidied up the drab little room as
best she could and waited for the man she loved. Promptly at seven, she heard those familiar footsteps on the stairs. She took a deep breath, posed herself on the corner of the table and waited.
Don't you like me just as much anyhow? I'm me even without my hair. Jim.
I feel so good in your arms.
Don't make any mistake about me, gal... I don't think there's anything in the way of a
haircut that can make me like my gal less.
--> in the way of
here ,here's something I bought you. Let me
get it out of my pocket here. If you'll unwrap that package, you may see why you had
me going there as first.
You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now.
I wanna see what it looks like it.
Let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use at present.
I sold my watch to buy you the combs.
But in a last word to the wise these days, let it be said that of all those who give gifts,
these two young lovers were the wisest.
As Jim and Della clung to one another, out in the snowy street below, the carolers' voice rose to greet Christmas, and nowhere was the spirit of Christmas more real than in that
little room overlooking the elevated train in New York town. Quietly, the young lovers listened.
it's the very best Christmas anyone could ever have.
Gift of the magi, one of the world's best stories, was written by william Sidney Porter, better known as O.Henry. thank you for spending a little bit of Christmas with us.

I hope it looks wonderful on his watch. Merry Christmas to you.
what a noble thing to do for her husband, I wish to him...well, never mind.
Henry brought back the watch fob, wrapped in the most beautiful paper Mr. Feldstein could provide. Now Della was radiant and full to bursting with the Christmas spirit.
As they crossed Sixth Avenue, the girls heard the carolers who had been there the night before.
Jim probably won't be home till seven o'clock. Let's stop and listen a minute.
I'd better be getting home. I wanna get things tidied up before I have to face Jimmy
with my boy's haircut. I feel so much better now, now that I have his present right here in my
hand.
It's what I give him that counts with me. I suppose it'll be something simple: a box of
candy or something, because he's just as broke as I am, and he doesn't have any hair
to sell.
That's the first laugh I've heard out of you today.
I know, but I'm still scared.
Della dropped Mable at the door, then she primped and tidied up the drab little room as
best she could and waited for the man she loved. Promptly at seven, she heard those familiar footsteps on the stairs. She took a deep breath, posed herself on the corner of the table and waited.
Don't you like me just as much anyhow? I'm me even without my hair. Jim.
I feel so good in your arms.
Don't make any mistake about me, gal... I don't think there's anything in the way of a
haircut that can make me like my gal less.
--> in the way of
here ,here's something I bought you. Let me
get it out of my pocket here. If you'll unwrap that package, you may see why you had
me going there as first.
You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now.
I wanna see what it looks like it.
Let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use at present.
I sold my watch to buy you the combs.
But in a last word to the wise these days, let it be said that of all those who give gifts,
these two young lovers were the wisest.
As Jim and Della clung to one another, out in the snowy street below, the carolers' voice rose to greet Christmas, and nowhere was the spirit of Christmas more real than in that
little room overlooking the elevated train in New York town. Quietly, the young lovers listened.
it's the very best Christmas anyone could ever have.
Gift of the magi, one of the world's best stories, was written by william Sidney Porter, better known as O.Henry. thank you for spending a little bit of Christmas with us.

daughters in your stead.

was a cyclone cellar, where the family could be safe in case one of those
great whirlwinds arose.
there was a low wail of wind.

there was a great shriek from the wind and the house shook so hard that Dorothy
fell down on floor.
she is coming up here.

Oz himself is the Great Wizard.
He is more powerful than all the rest of us together.

a great desert surrounds the whole land of Oz
As Dorothy sobbed,the little old woman took off her pointed cap and
bounced the point on the end of her nose.
at once the cap changed to a blackboard on which was written in big,white chalk.
Follow the yellow brick road.
it is long journey and sometimes very dangerous. but if you get to the City of Emeralds,
the Great Oz may be able to help you.

she is the most powerful of us all,except Oz. but she is lives a long way off.
I advise you possess a powerful charm, perhaps they can do you good.
Dorothy put on the silver slippers which fit perfectly
then she and toto set out on a long journey to the City
of Emeralds and the Great Wizard of Oz along the yellow
brick road.
she saw a Scarecrow high on a pole in a cornfield.
That Scarecrow winked at me!
This pole is stuck up my back.
If you will please take me off the pole I shall be greatly
obliged to you.
if I go to the Emerald City with you, that the Great Oz would gice me some brains ?
I don't want people to call me a fool ,
with no brains,how am i ever to know anything ?
they picked their way along until, in a clearing,
they saw a little cottage.but there seemed to be no one around.
what on earth is that?
it sounds like somebody's in terrible trouble.
I've been groaning for more than a year but nobody's ever heard me,
because my jaws are rusted shut.
there's an oil can by my cottage.
I might have stood there for always if you had not come along.
The tinsmith forgot to put a heart in my breast, and I truly miss it.
if you'll allow me to join your party, I'll also go to the Emerald Ciry,
and I'll ask Oz for a heart.
Don't you dare bite Toto!
you are nothing but a big coward!
I'll put you on your feet again.
how can that be?
it's my great sorrow.
my life is simply unbearable without a bit of courage.
Dorothy and her friends found themselves in a wonderful place.
the eyes were fixed on her.
I am Dorothy , the small and meek.
I will send you back to Kansas,but not before.
Now, what do these others want?
Now go, and do not ask to see me again until the Witch is dead.
Now the Wicked Witch of the West had only one eye,but that was as powerful as a telescope,
and could see everywhere.
so as she sat in the door of her castle, she spied Dorothy and her friends coming into her land.
The sky got dark, there was a low rumbling in the air and the rushing of many wings.
I want him for my slave.
Get away from me, you beasts.
Other Monkeys caught the Scarecrow and ripped him open.
The Lion the tied with ropes and took him to the Witch's castle.
All we can do is carry her to the castle and leave her there.
which they did. they flew into the air and were soon out of sight.
The Wicked Witch was worried when she saw the mark on Dorothy's
forehead,for she knew well that neither the Winged Monkeys,
nor she,herself,dare hurt the girl in any way.
keep that nasty little dog away from me.
so she used her magic art to make Dorothy trip and fall,
and one of the slippers came off.
she scared me half to death.
they pounded out the dents in the Tin Woodman, and
stuffed the Scarecrow with new straw.
And standing in the spot the screen had hidden was a little
old man, with a bald head and a wrinkled face.
I'm just an ordinary man.
I've given you a big helping of bran-new brains.
Then Oz called in the Tin Woodman and gave him a new heart
of red silk and sawdust.
it'll take more than imagination to get Dorothy back to Kansas.
Toto, I had a feeling that we’re not in Kansas any more
Ding Dong! The witch’s dead.”
She lived in the midst of the great,great Kansas prairie with her Aunt Em and
Uncle Henry, who was a farmer.
Their house was one room with a small hole in the ground beneath the floor, which
was a cyclone cellar, where the family could be safe in case one of those
great whirlwinds arose.
there was a low wail of wind.
you and Dorothy get in the cellar there.
there was a great shriek from the wind and the house shook so hard that Dorothy
fell down on floor.
she is coming up here.
we can find out where we are.
see her two silver shoes?there. she's gone.
i thought there were no more witches.
Oz himself is the Great Wizard.
He is more powerful than all the rest of us together.
can you help me find my way ?
a great desert surrounds the whole land of Oz
As Dorothy sobbed,the little old woman took off her pointed cap and
bounced the point on the end of her nose.
at once the cap changed to a blackboard on which was written in big,white chalk.
Follow the yellow brick road.
it is long journey and sometimes very dangerous. but if you get to the City of Emeralds,
the Great Oz may be able to help you.
won't you please go with me?
I will mark your brow with my kiss.
no one would ever dare to injure a person who has been kissed by the Witch of the North.
she is the most powerful of us all,except Oz. but she is lives a long way off.

Don McLean - Vincent ( Starry, Starry Night) With Lyrics
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
