“What beautiful gifts!” says mother. “St. Nicholas must think you are good children.”

St. Nicholas brought Jan a little wooden horse on wheels.

He brought him a woolly lamb that says “Baa” when you press a spring in its back.

Jan had three books, too, and a pen and a red pen-holder. What fine gifts!

Katrina had a little cradle for her doll. She had a doll-cart. She had a gold chain, a lace collar, and a pretty blue gown.

Jan and Katrina also had many sweetmeats, nuts, and little cakes.
