My favorite part of this story is the way it's almost like O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi", where a man pawns his watch to buy a lovely hair brush for his wife, who cuts off and sells her hair to buy a watch chain for her husband, and both are very pleased by their gifts even though they no longer have any use for them.
When I was a child I had watched a Mickey Mouse special with a similar premise and it always stuck with me. I really can't express why but learning what it was based on feels very important to me.
(Similar premise = Gift of Magi, not the manga)
