    The 

    Gift 
    of the 

    Magi 

    Once 
    upon a time 
    in a little 
    town 

    that was 
    the most 

    Christmassy 
    town 
    around, 

    Brother 

    Jim an

    Sister 

    Heather 

    lived 
    there 
    in a tiny house 
    together. 

    Jim 
    and 

    Heather didn't 
    have any 
    gold 

    or coins 
    or paper 
    money to be told. 

    But this 
    was 
    usu
    ally not 
    a bother, 

    because they 
    both had each 
    other. 

    One 

    Christmas 

    Eve, 
    it snowed 
    an
    d snowed. 

    Heather 
    went down 
    the icy road. 

    She wanted 
    to buy 

    Jim 

    Christmas 
    gift. 

    Over the shops 
    the snow 
    did drift. 

    Heather 
    stared 
    in the bright 
    window. 

    Holly 
    and 
    candy 
    canes all 
    in a row. 

    Beautiful 
    presents 
    were piled 
    up high. 

    Oh, 
    I've got 
    no money, 

    she cried. 

    Heather had 
    an idea, 
    quick 
    as a 
    flash. 

    Back through the snow 
    she did dash. 

    Upstairs 
    to her bedroom 
    she ran, 

    excited about 
    her special 
    plan. 

    Inside 
    the 
    wardrobe 
    was her 
    spe
    cial 
    dress, 

    all 
    glittery 
    blue an
    d made 
    to impress. 

    Covered 
    in ribbons, 
    silver 
    and red. 

    I'll swap 
    it for 

    Jim's 
    gift, 
    she 
    said. 

    Heather took 
    her 
    to the dress 

    shop and 
    asked, 

    Mis

    Jiggy, can 
    do a swap? 

    Of 
    course 
    dear, 
    plump 

    Miss 

    Jiggy said. 

    Choose whatever 
    you'd 
    like instead. 

    Heather 
    saw a 
    beautiful 
    watch chain 

    that 
    looped 
    around 
    and 
    around 
    again. 

    It 
    was as 
    gold 
    as butterscotch 
    and 

    Jim 
    had no 
    chain 
    for 
    his watch. 

    Can 
    I have this 
    please?" 
    she 
    said, 

    and 
    swapped 
    the dress 
    for the 
    chain instead. 

    She knew 

    Jim's 
    present was 
    the best. 

    What 
    it was, 
    he 
    couldn't 
    have guessed. 

    Jim 
    came 
    home later through 
    the snow. 

    At home, 

    Heather's cheeks 
    were all 
    aglow. 

    Jim, 
    I've 
    got you 
    a present! 
    she cried. 

    I've got 
    you one too, 
    he replied. 

    Have 
    you? 

    Heather 

    said 
    surprised. 

    This 
    was a 

    Christmas 

    Eve to 
    be prized. 

    Here 
    it is, 

    Jim said 
    very excited. 

    She 
    opened the 
    parcel so delighted. 

    huge, 
    shiny blue 
    bow was 
    inside. 

    Heather 
    stared at it 
    wide -eyed. 

    Jim 
    said, 

    It's 
    for 
    your special 
    dress, sis. 

    Gah! 

    She 
    said, 

    I didn't 
    expect this. 

    Oh, don't 
    you like 
    it?" 
    said poor 

    Jim. 

    Then she gave 
    his 
    present to 
    him. 

    He ripped 
    the paper wide 
    open and 

    the watch 
    chain 
    sparkled 
    inside. 

    Sud
    denly, 

    Jim gave 
    a great guffaw. 

    Ha! 

    He giggled 
    loudly at 
    what he 
    saw. 

    Dearest 
    sis, 

    did 
    you do 
    a swap 
    for 
    this present at 

    Miss 

    Jiggy's 
    shop? 

    Uh, 
    yes, 
    swapped 
    my dress, 

    she said. 

    Jim laughed 
    more and shook 
    his 
    head. 

    swapped my 
    watch to 
    get your bow. 

    Now 
    your dress 
    is gone. 
    I didn't 
    know. 

    But 
    you 
    swapped your dress for 
    me, 

    and 
    I swapped my 
    watch, as you see. 

    It 
    shows how 
    much we care 
    for each other, 

    dearest 
    sis, 
    how we 
    love one another.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
