उत्तर
Jim and Della impulsively buy gifts for each other by sacrificing their greatest treasures without thinking about the consequences and focusing on making each other happy. They thought only of the material possessions that could give us pleasure However, what they didn't realize is that they had given each other the greatest gift of sacrificial love. The story teaches us that selfless love is worth more than any material possessions money can buy.
