Explanation:
The Best Christmas Present in the World is a touching story by Michael Morpurgo. The narrator buys an old desk and finds in it a letter written by an English soldier Jim Mcpherson to his wife Connie whom the narrator goes to meet and hand over the letter.
The letter has a touchy account of how the English soldiers and German soldiers wished each other 'Happy Christmas", celebrated the festival with real Christmas spirit where there was no place for conflict, hatred, and violence. The letter was written on 26 December 1914 and Jim wrote in his letter that he would be back by the next Christmas as the incident between the two armies showed how soldiers from both sides wanted peace.
The narrator could not sleep the whole night, it was Christmas Eve, as he had intruded in someone's privacy by reading the letter. In the morning he went to the address mentioned in the letter, finds the house in shatters due to fire, asked a neighbor and reached where Connie was. Connie was 101 years and she mistook the narrator as Jim and talked about her happiness on Jim's arrival. It was the best Christmas present for her in the world.
