A long time ago, the sky was close to the earth. When you stood up and stretched your
arms, you could touch it.
One day, a farmer brought some coconuts for his wife. His wife wanted to drink the juice
inside. She knocked on of the coconuts against a rock to break open the shell
“That’s not the way to do it, “her husband said. “You should cut it open with a knife”
He gave her his bolo or jungle-knife
His wife raised the knife to cut the coconut shell. “crack !”. As she lifted the knife about her head
it split open the sky and there was heavy rain.
The woman told the sky, “Will you please go a little higher? I can’t raise my knife high enough
to cut this coconut shell”
She raised the knife over her shoulder the second time. Once again, it hit the sky and there was
thunder and lightening
“You are still too low,” the woman said to the sky. “Please go higher.”
She raised the bolo a third time. It still cracked the sky. There was a typhoon, and the woman’s
house was almost blown away by the fierce wind.
“What are you doing?” cried her husband, “Can’t you even try to open a coconut shell without
causing a typhoon?”
“It’s not me,” his wife answered. “It’s the sky which is too low”. I need more room to use the
knife.”

Now it was Christmas Eve. With tearful eyes Della had counted the money she had saved
for Jim’s Christmas present for the tenth time 87 cents. “If only I knew ...” she thought. Then
suddenly she had a wonderful idea. She hurriedly putting on her old hat and coat, she ran down
the street to the shop with the notice “Hair bought”. She entered and an hour later walked out of
the shop richer by 15 dollars, but without her chair! On the way home she stopped at every
watchmaker’s shop until at last she found exactly the right chain to suit Jim’s watch.
Returning home, with one dollar and 87 cents left in her pocket, she had just enough time
before Jim arrived home from work to wrap the precious gift. She also curled her remaining hair.

Della cried. “And I had to do it. Here. She gave the parcel to Jim,” you see, “I had to sell my hair
to get money for your present! Merry Christmas, dear”.
When Jim opened it, he collapsed on a chair. “I think we’d better put our presents away
for a while,” he said gently at last, “You see, I’ve sold my watch to but this comb for your hair”.
