Best Answer

O. Henry portrayed the two characters in "The Gift of the Magi" as wise for sacrificing their most valuable possessions out of love for each other, echoing the selflessness and generosity associated with the original Magi who gave gifts to baby Jesus. He celebrated their actions as embodying the spirit of the Magi, rather than suggesting that they were naive or foolish.
