H5. Story

St. Nicholas Gift

Long ago, in a small village, there lived a man named Marcus. He was a tall and muscular man who boasted about his strength to anyone who would listen. Despite his strong appearance, Marcus struggled to provide for his family. He wanted to save money and live a prosperous life, but every time he earned some money, it seemed to slip through his fingers.

One day, Marcus made a deal with a blacksmith. The blacksmith had an abundance of work to do but lacked the strength to complete it all alone. Marcus saw an opportunity to earn some extra money and offered to help the blacksmith. In return, the blacksmith promised to pay him handsomely.

However, when the work was completed, the blacksmith failed to keep his end of the bargain. Marcus was left empty-handed and desperate for money. That's when he met Nicholas, a young man who believed in being humble and charitable. Nicholas was a preacher, but he found more joy in helping people than in preaching to them.

Marcus told Nicholas about his plight, and Nicholas felt compelled to help him. That night, Nicholas climbed up a ladder and dropped a bag of gold down the chimney of Marcus's house. The bag contained more money than Marcus had ever seen in his life. Marcus was overjoyed and grateful for the unexpected gift.

News of the secret gift spread quickly throughout the village, and Nicholas became known and loved by everyone. From then on, people started giving secret gifts to each other, especially to children. They attributed these gifts to St. Nicholas, in honor of the young preacher who had shown them the true meaning of generosity.

Today, we still celebrate St. Nicholas and his spirit of giving. Children around the world eagerly wait for him to come down the chimney and leave them presents. And the story of Marcus and Nicholas continues to inspire us to be kind and charitable, even in the face of adversity.
