"Exchanging Presents"

A friend of a friend of mine , called John, was extremely poor, but he had an enourmous heart. With all his love, he decided to get married with his girlfriend, Fiona, who has a beautiful long straight black hair. Actually he was in love with her, because of her hair.
In their first year aniversary, they decided to celebrate with a dinner, at their modest house, and exchange presents.

As he was in a bad financial condition, he couldn't afford buying a good gift, so, he needed to sell his beloved watch, to buy something different and meaningfull for his wife. After spending hours looking for that special gift, he decided to buy a breathtaking hair clip for her to wear in her stupendous hair. He was very happy with the most stunning gift that his money could ever buy, and because he knew his wife would love it.

On the other hand, the love of his life, had also to do something desperately to save some money for his present; she thought that the only way to acquire a pretty good amount of money was selling her impressive hair. She did it, and bought an exquisite gold wrist watch strap, to his watch.

The romantic night came, the food was very tasty, and everything was going great, until the presents exchanging. Tragically, in the end, she had no hair to put the hair clip and he had no watch, to fix with her present, but they were happy and the love hadn't finished because of this astonishing end, at least, they enjoyed their dinner.

That is a true history, it really hapenned with a friend of a friend of mine.
