Micky’s Present
N：Many years ago, there is couple. The husband’s name is Jim, and the wife’s name is Della. Though they lead a very hard life, they love each other very much. One year just one day before Christmas. Della wants to buy a Christmas present for her husband.
D: (在街上边走边自言自语)My husband Jim works very hard. He is a very good husband. But what present shall I buy for him. (戴拉停在一个手表店面前：) Oh, I remember, he wears an old watch. The watch is very valuable, it is past to him by his father’s father. He likes the watch very much. But the watch lost its chain, I can buy one for him, so that he can wear his watch whenever he wants.
(戴拉走进商店向商店老板B打招呼)
B: Good afternoon, madam, may I help you.
D: Yes, I want to buy a chain for my husband to wear his dear watch. Oh, this one, this golden chain, its matches my husband’s watch very well. How much is this.
B: 20 dollars, madam. It’s a very precious one. I think your husband will like it very much if you give it to him as a present. (把表链给戴拉)
D: （戴拉端详好久，自语）Yes, it’s beautiful, but 20 dollars is a lot of money. 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 the beautiful chain 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.
N：Della went to the Gold Shop and bought a gold watch chain for Jim. Now, Della is at home.
D: (Della 坐在家里端详表链，自语) what a beautiful gold watch chain. I think it will match Jim's well. When he sees it he must be very happy.
(Suddenly the door opened and in came Jim.)
J: Della, Della, merry Christmas, come and see what I have brought for you-----(当看到Della 的头发已经不存在的时候，Jim停住了，惊讶的看着Della)
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.
J: You’ve cut off your hair?
D: I’ve cut it off and sold it. It’s sold. I tell you -sold and gone, too. It’s Christmas Eve, Jim. Be good to me, for it went for you.
J: Well, Della. Don’t make any mistake about me. I don’t think there’s anything about a hair cut that could make me love you any less. I know, it went for me. Look at this package.
D: What?
J: Look at it yourself. You’ll see.
D: Ah! The combs. They were in the shop windows for many months!
J: Yes, the beautiful combs--just the color to wear in your beautiful, hair.
D: But, Jim. They are expensive combs. I know. I had longed for them for a long time. Now they are mine. Thank you, Jim. (停顿) But Jim, how did you get the money to buy it. I don’t think you have so much money.(用怀疑的眼光看着Jim)
J; Now, you will see why I was upset at first.
D: Jim, you don’t know what a nice –what a beautiful, nice gift I’ve got for you. Can you guess?
J: I'm sorry. I won't guess.
D: Look. A gold watch chain. Isn’t it lovely, Jim? I hunted all over the town to find it. You’ll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.
J: (取回梳子)Della, I sold the watch to buy you this to comb your beautiful hair. And you sold your hair to buy me this to let me wear the watch. Although we are so poor, we love each other so much. Do you think so?
D: Yes, I love you too. (拥抱)
J: Now, Let’s put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They’re too nice to use just at present. Now, let’s have our supper.
