NICHOLAS, THE REAL SANTA CLAUS

A nobly born   young man was walking   the streets
one   Christmas Eve   when   he heard   from heaven,
``Give   my children   a   splendid   thrust   of love
in   their stockings   and   pray   for   all children   to starve.''

Nicholas   lifted an open window and   was now
on the verge   of   three daughters.
The   second   he heard   a girl's   voice say:
``Not   to-night, Father,   thanks   '',
he left the   house of   the   proud   father
on tiptoe,   and   discovered   a   street   of   bars.



St. Nicholas took   his   fill in   these bars
for the sake     of God , the Lover of   children
and of mankind.
Let us   go   to   the bar and a   second   and     third bar.
This is the   secret gift   Nicholas inherited ,
Master of the   lost   gift   from God .
