O'Henry's Short Stories - part 1

I've been reading a collection of O'Henry's short stories. I'm about a third of the way trough and I thought I'd share a list of the ones that are best:

The Gift of the Magi - Story about true giving.

The Trimmed Lamp - Story about what makes people truly happy.

The Social Triangle - Ironic story about people's perspective of social status.

The Guilty Party - The responsibility of parents to children.

The Last Leaf - I read this as an interesting metaphor for the Atonement. Christ makes the ultimately sacrafice for us, even though we act silly.
