"The Cactus" by O'Henry

So, hi again. Finally I've made a decision. As my favorite american author is O.Henry I selected one of his short stories. To tell you the the truth, O.Henry is a writer with whom I always associate my childhood. I used to read his stories with my father during the evenings. Our favorite stories are "The  gift of the magi" and "Gold and love". But the first one was chosen by many students and the second was not included in the list. So I selected "The Cactus". I have not read it before, but this title is rather intriguing. I'd like to say that in spite of the common titles the context of the authour's stories is very complicated and quite tricky. I'm sure that the cactus has a symbolic or partly figurative meaning in the story. Also I look forward the unexpected ending. I really enjoy this thing!
