In O Henry's The Magi did O. Henry believe they were wise for giving all they had to one they loved or did O. Henry think the two were wise and acted as the true magi did years ago?

O. Henry portrayed the two characters in "The Gift of the Magi" as wise for sacrificing their most valuable possessions out of love for each other, echoing the selflessness and generosity associated with the original Magi who gave gifts to baby Jesus. He celebrated their actions as embodying the spirit of the Magi, rather than suggesting that they were naive or foolish.
