Christmas Story Reading Comprehension
The Last Parcel
On Christmas Eve, Zainab was meant to be asleep. Instead, she was watching snow gather on the garden wall. A faint jingling came from just beyond the wall. She pulled on her boots and coat, then crept outside. A small elf was sitting in the snow. His green hat had slipped over one ear, and a red sack beside him had split along the seam. A parcel wrapped in silver paper lay half-buried nearby. “I’m Pip,” he said, brushing snow from his sleeves. “The sleigh caught a branch as we flew over the wood. I found this parcel, but the rest of the presents are still on the sleigh. I can’t leave without it.” Zainab picked up the parcel. A label on it read: ‘For the lighthouse keeper, who will be working tonight.’ She looked towards the dark coast beyond the village. “We can mend your sack and take this parcel to the harbour,” she said. “My aunt is the lighthouse keeper.” Using a scarf from her coat, Zainab tied the split seam together. Pip tucked the parcel safely inside. They hurried down the snowy lane, following the glow of the harbour lights. At the lighthouse door, Zainab’s aunt opened it, surprised to see them. “Just in time,” she said. “I was beginning to think Christmas had forgotten this lonely place.” Pip smiled with relief. The parcel was safe, the sack was mended, and the sleigh bells were already jingling in the distance.
