There were only two things of which the family was very proud: Jim’s gold watch and Delia’s hair. She had beautiful hear. She went to the mirror and led down her hair. It fell to its full length, below her knees.
Delia put on her jacket and her hat and went down the stairs to the street. She decided to sell her hear. She got twenty dollars and her hear was cut off.
Then she went to the shop to buy a present for Jim. It was a platinum chain for Jim’s watch.
When Jim came home from his work and saw Delia, there was an expression on his face which frightened her.
“You’ve cut off your hair,” said Jim slowly.
He took a package from his coat pocket and gave it to Delia. There were combs which she had wanted for so long. She knew they were expensive.
“My hair grows very fast, Jim,” she said. Then she gave him her present.
“Isn’t it beautiful, Jim?” she asked then.
Jim sat down on the sofa and smiled. “Dell,” he said, “Let’s put our presents away for a while. I sold the watch to buy you combs.”

There are some public holidays in Great Britain. They are: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter, May Spring Festival, Spring Bank Holiday, Summer Bank Holiday and many others.
Christmas is the most popular holiday in Britain. It is celebrated on the 25th of December. People spend time at home, with their families, eat special food (turkey, potatoes, green vegetables, a Christmas pudding and drink champagne). Many people decorate Christmas trees with toys and little colored lights. People buy Christmas cards and send them to their friends and relatives. British people buy a lot of presents. In churches people sing Christmas carols – special religious songs.
New Year’s Day is less popular in Britain than Christmas. Some people don’t celebrate it at all. Some people have New Year parties. At midnight they listen to the chime of Big Ben, drink a toast to the New Year and sing Auld Lang Syne.
Guy Fawkes Day is one of the most popular festivals in Britain. It is celebrated on the 5th of November. On that day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James the First. But the king’s men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head. Since that day the British burn a dummy, made of straw and old clothers, on a bonfire and let off fireworks. This dummy is called a “Guy”. Children go about the streets saying “Penny for the Guy”. If they collect enough money, they buy fireworks for the festival.
