In many cases,funny little stories can be told about the way in which great works of art came into being.Just so,there is an amusing anecdote to tell about one of O Henry's most famous stories.
O Henry was known to attend to all kinds of business,except what was really important.As a result,he often failed to finish his work on time.One year,as the deadline for the Christmas edition was approaching,his editor got anxious fearing that O Henry would let him down.On the final day before it was to be published,he visited the writer's house desperate to hear when O Henry could finish the story that he had promised to write.
