What information does o.henry give you to you predict what della will do to get more money in “the gift of the magi”

In the short story “The Gift of Magi,” the American writer O. Henry speaks about the feeling of love and the emotions related to it. The couple Della and Jim are so much in love with each other that they would sacrifice anything for their partner to be happy. Since they are poor, they both fall short in arranging money for the Christmas gift. Della wanted to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, but her savings were not enough for the gift. O.Henry cleverly gives a hint to his readers about Della’s step that how she would manage the money by introducing the readers to her beautiful and long hair. As soon as she looks in the mirror, she notices her hair and runs straight towards the shop where the hair articles are sold. Her rolling tears too makes the readers predict about her action which she would take to arrange the money.

Della begins to cry after looking at her hair.
