"Rolling Stones" by O. Henry tells the story of a group of homeless men who live in a park. One day, they encounter a wealthy young woman who doesn’t seem to fit into their world. Curious about her, they learn that she is searching for something valuable, a rare diamond that she believes has been lost. The men, intrigued and motivated by their newfound interest, band together to help her in her quest. Through humor and irony, O. Henry explores themes of society, class differences, and the unexpected connections that can form between people from entirely different backgrounds.
