Class VIII English Chapter 1 The Best Christmas Present in the World Solution is given below.

Question 1:
What did the author find in a junk shop?

Answer:
The author found a nineteenth century roll-top desk in the junk shop. It was made of oak. It was in a very bad condition. The roll-top was broken into several pieces. One of the legs was clumsily mended and there were scorch marks down one side. The author bought it in order to restore it.

Question 2:
What did he find in a secret drawer? Who do you think had put it in there?

Answer:
The author found a small black tin box in the secret drawer. There was a paper sellotaped to its top. It said, ‘Jim’s last letter, received January 25, 1915. To be buried with me when the time comes.’
Most likely, it was put there by Mrs. Jim Macpherson, who was Jim’s wife. Her name and address were on the envelope inside the box.
