The Gift Of The Magi is a famous story written by O. Henry about a young couple who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. They each sell their most prized possessions to buy the perfect gifts for each other, with surprising consequences. O. Henry was the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter, and he is famous for writing stories with surprise endings. Though he was born in North Carolina, he lived for a few years in La Salle county, Texas, so I thought it would be appropriate to place this box here. You can find it at the Old Cotulla Cemetery.
NOTE: Always take adequate precautions (such as prodding with a stick and/or wearing gloves) before reaching into dark crevasses and holes in the wild. Before you set out read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
