one night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry that night saint nicholas2 knowing the despair of the father stopped by the nobleman’s house looking in the window saint nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed he also noticed the daughters stockings inspiration struck saint nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch3 and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings
