“Cactus” is included in the short story collection, called «Waifs And Strays», published in 1910. This novel tells us the love story of a young man named Trysdale. He was inspired with love to a girl. Reciprocating his feelings, she lifted him on a pedestal, sincerely praising his skills and talents. But did all these praises were deserved? Trysdale did not doubt it, taking the admiration for granted, gave himself over to the power of arrogance and vanity. What has it led to and what role a cactus played, you will find out by reading O. Henry’s short story of the same name.A SmartTouch Media production.

Author Bio

O. Henry, the pseudonym of William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), was a prolific American short story writer, a master of surprise endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. A twist of plot, which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance, is typical of his stories. During his lifetime, O. Henry published over six hundred stories and ten collections, including Cabbages and Kings, The Four Million, The Trimmed Lamp, Whirligigs, and The Heart of the West.
