long time ago in a village far away was born a boy named Nicholas he grew up to
be a very kind and generous boy at a very young age
Nicholas joined the church Nicholas gave special attention to the children of his
village and they were very fond of nicholas Nicholas became well known
throughout the land as a kind and wise young man
he was so named a bishop of the church Nicholas for a long red robe with a red
hat and he traveled on horseback at every village happy children would spot
his bright robe from a distance and gatherer on the road to greet him in one
village Bishop Nicholas heard the sorrowful tale of a poor old man and his
three young daughters the man could no longer feed his daughters and he feared
he would have to send them away from him Nicholas knew he could help this family
that night while the whole village slept Nicholas crept up to the hut where the
three sisters lived he climbed up to the rooftop to find the chimney there
Nicholas dropped three bags of gold one by one down through the chimney earlier
that day the three sisters had hung their newly washed stockings by the
fireplace to dry a small bag of gold that Nicholas dropped fell into one of
the stockings below the next morning the girls were overjoyed to find gold coins
in their stockings father they called running to wake him we have received a
magical gift as the story of these three sisters
spread from village to village other people began to hang their stockings by
the fire hoping to find a sacred gift when they awoke the next morning Bishop
Nicholas enjoyed surprising people he began to deliver his secret gifts of
hope and joy only at night while his friends were asleep for all his good
deeds Bishop Nicholas was honoured as the saint who looks after all children all
over the world began to celebrate st. Nicholas Day which fell on December 6
we hung their stockings by the fire night before
