Book: Sunbeams 8th
Chapter: the best Christmas present in the world
Answers
Answer:
Mrs. Connie Macpherson got the best Christmas present. Although Jim was not in this world when his wife received the letter, she was very happy to get such precious thing on Christmas Eve. The love and warmth which she received after reading the letter was the best thing which she can ever get in the world.
Explanation:
When the narrator came to see Connie and gave her the box, she mistook him for her husband Jim. She thought that Jim had come home for Christmas. This was Connie's Christmas present. For her, it was the best Christmas gift in the world because Jim had written in the letter that he would come home on Christmas. Jim wrote the letter to tell his wife about a wonderful thing that had happened on Christmas day. The British and the Germans were engaged in a war, yet on this day, both the troops met in no man's land. It was a thing of wonder because right in the middle of a war, the warring soldiers were making peace. Connie must have kept Jim's letter for a long time. This is because she told the narrator how she read it quite often every day so that she could feel that Jim was near her. Hope this helps.
