Yes, "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry can be seen as a story within a story because it focuses on the main plotline of Della and Jim's sacrificial gifts to each other, while also indirectly exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and selflessness that are prevalent in the larger context of the holiday season.
"The Gift of the Magi" (O. Henry, 1906) is a story of love and affection, and how self-sacrifice is the greatest expression of it. The twist is that while both gifts are rendered useless, the act of giving them is not. This is consistent with the modern saying "it's not the gift, but the thought that counts".

I'm actually 50% sure:D
There once was a miser who hid gold at the foot of a tree. Every week he would dig it up and gloat over it. A robber, noticing this, dug up the gold and took it. Then, when the miser went to find it, it was gone. He cried out and asked all the neighbors if they had taken it."Did you ever take any out?" asked a neighbor"Nay, I only looked at it." replied the distraught miser"Well why don't you just stare at the hole instead; it will do you just as much good."Moral = Wealth Unused Might As Well Not Exist.
Story of O was created in 1954.
The Necklace- against avarice and social-climbing with a gimmick- impled anti-materialism. The overcoat ( O. Henry-nice rewrite by Superman writers in l950"s) is a similar tale of false confidence in money- turns out to be Bank of Richmond- circa l863!- there are weird ( Trapped) short stories where the lead character or one of the characters is in dire straits by accident- being trapped in a bank vault or something like this. I can remember a cartoon ( yes) a cartoon that dealt with the abandonment theme and an ( Evil) truancy or juvenile police officer- it gave me the Willies! The shock of the child being abandonded in a strange officer buiilding basement- well it was in the shockumentary category- other tales have moral or ( human condition- is it right or wrong) angle of presentation. Some of this stuff is intended to moralize or at least shock the reader into some Moral solution-If people were honest- nobody would be fatally trapped in a prison fire int he keep-locked ward as was Zelda Fitzgerald.. it happens.
The duration of Story of O - film - is 1.75 hours.
