i liked most of the story, because it talks about 2 people that love each ohter and will do anything just 2 get a gift for each other. but i feel its better 2 give then receive because you may not know what the other person may get you.

I like the story because it reminds me ofmy grandparents. It shows the love for two people and how they will do anything for each other. I think its better to give then recieve bacause you may be helping someone whos in need more then you will ever be.

I like this story because it shows that people who love eachother will do anything just to get them happy. I think better to give then recieve because there are people outside in the werld that need a home and other things. So it wont hurt to give them anything when you already have it.

I liked this story a lot because it shows how much two people that are in love are willing to do to make each other happy. I have to be honest I like receiving but then again I also like giving to people that are in need.

I liked this story a lot because it showed how much two people that love one another are willing to do what makes each other happy. To be truthful i agree with Rosa, I like to be the one receiving things but then again it does feel good to give the people in need. It makes you feel good about yourself to know you did something good.

I think it is important to give. If you just take the world would be even worse than it is now. Plus I like to get and give gifts.

I liked this story it shows a lot of compassion and the story itself is remarkable. I think it is important to give gifts more than to receive, because in this case it brought them more closely together. I like how they both sold wat was most valuable to them to please there love ones. The story was interesting n i loved it.

I liked the story alot! It was really cute and it had me cracking up at the end. I love the fact that they both sold something of their own just to get the other something special. I think that giving is much better than recieving. =)

Im a sucker for romantic stories . This one was really sweet . I liked it because these two people loved each other so much that they were willing to spend there last dime on each other . ( i wouldn't do that lol)

I think i like this short story out of all of them because this story shows how powerful love can be and how two people are deeply in love with one another and will do anything just to give eachother presents. I love to recieve gifts and i also like giving things to people. It makes me feel good that I can help the helpless.

i like this story because it shows that when two people love eachother they are willing to do anything for eachother no matter what it takes. its really sweet because i would do the same with the one i love just to make him happy. it was really cute when they both gave up something just to get the one they love what they want. it also makes you feel good about yourself because your doinq something for someone and showing how much you care for them. sometimes its better to give then recive because that person may really need it.
