Storie.

"A boy and a girl were insanely in love with each other. They decided to become engaged. And that’s when presents are exchanged.

The boy was poor - his only worthwhile possession was a watch he had inherited from his grandfather. Thinking about his sweetheart’s lovely hair, he decided to sell the watch in order to buy her a silver barrette.

The girl had no money herself to buy him a present. She went to the shop of the most successful merchant in the town and sold him her hair. With the money, she bought a gold wristband for her lover.

When they met in the day of the engagement party, she gave him the wristband for a watch that he had sold, and he gave her the barrette for the hair she no longer had."
