Перевод текста he looked very thin and he needed a new coat. his eyes were on delia. she could not understand the look on his face, and she was afraid. he was not angry or surprised. he just watched her, with that strange look on his face. delia ran to him. 'jim,' she cried. 'don't look at me like that. i sold my hair because i wanted to give you a present. it will soon be long again. i had to do it, jim. say "happy christmas", please. i have a wonderful present for you! ' 'you've cut off your hair? ' asked jim. 'yes. i cut it off and sold it,' delia said. 'but don't you love me any more, jim? i'm still me.' jim looked round the room. 'you say your hair has gone? ' he said, almost stupidly. 'yes. i told you. because i love you! shall i get the dinner now, jim? ' suddenly jim put his arms round his delia. then he took something from his pocket and put it on the table. ' i love you, delia,' he said. 'it doesn't matter if your hair is short or long. but if you open that, you'll see why i was unhappy at first.' excited, delia pulled off the paper. then she gave a little scream of happiness. but a second later there were cries of unhappiness. because there were the combs - the combs for her beautiful hair. when she first saw these combs in the shop window, she wanted them. they were beautiful combs, expensive combs, and now they were her combs. but she no longer had her hair! delia picked them up and held them. her eyes were full of love. 'but my hair will soon be long again, jim.' and then delia remembered. she jumped up and cried, 'oh! oh! ' she ran to get jim's beautiful present, and she held it out to him. 'isn't it lovely, jim? i looked everywhere for it. now you'll want to look at your watch a hundred times a day. give it to me! give me your watch, jim! let's see it with its new chain.' but jim did not do this. he sat down, put his hands behind his head, and he smiled. 'delia,' he said. 'let's keep our presents for a time. they're so nice. you see, i sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. and now, let's have dinner.' and this was the story of two young people who were very much in love.
