Etotitil of tip 01,11riotnuts *tartting
NY, many years ago there lived in Europe a very wealthy MOM
named St. Nicholas. He liked nothing better than to help poor
people, but disliked very mu•
ch being thanked for his gifts. One
Christmas Eve he wished to give a purse of gold to an old man and his little
daughter, and in order to escape being seen, he climbed '‘,.$ their roof and
dropped his precious gift down the chimney. Instead of landing on the
hearth, however, the purse fell right into a stocking which was hung up to
dry, an,d the next morning it wan discovered there! When other peopleheard
of the strange happening they too hung up their stockings, and soon all over
the land it became the custom on Christmas Eve to hang up one's stocking
for St. Nicholas to fill.
