19. Pakiwaitara - O. Henry - Te Koha a te Ruānuku

O Henry's classic short story is about a young couple determined secretly to surprise each other with a special gift despite their limited resources. Unaware of the other's plans, they each make a personal sacrifice to make their gift possible. It is a timeless story of generosity, sacrifice, and love. Cherished by readers for more than a century, this story is recognised as one of the greatest tales of all time.   Translation by Taurapa
