Many wonder tales told OF St Nicholas
Here three famous adventures OF the saint:
Rescue Of the Stolen Boy.
There was rich merchant who was a Christian.
He lived near the border OF a heather Land. One
day his only stolen by some wicked
neighbors, who sold him to a heather king. The
boy was handsome, the king made him the
royal cup-bearer.
1t happened that the king was giving a great
banquet And the boy presenting the cup
full Of wine he suddenly remembered that it was
the Feast of St Nicholas, and that his family
father, mother, and sisters-were happily cele-
brating the day. Thinking about this, the boy
burst into tears.
"Why do you cry?" asked the king angrily.
do you not see that your tears are falling into
my cup and spelling my wfne?'
This is the Feast Of st. Nicholas answered
the boy sobbing, land every at home Is eat
ing and is merry And. alasI am not thereF'
"Great may be your st. Nicholas" replied the
kirg scornfully, ''but he cannot save you from my
handT"
Scarcely had the king spoken these words when
q violent whrlwind tore around outside the palace,
and flash of lightning Illuminated the hall, and
SELF dressed in his bishops robes and wearing his
mitre, stood before the throne. He caught the boy
by the locks. and flying with him through the dome
of the hall, whirled him rapidly through the air.
In few minutes he set him down IN the midst OF
his astonished family who were keeping the feast
Of the good st Nicholas.
The Terrified Robbers
After St Nicholas dead, he still cared to
help people. Once there was a who would
not become Christian. He heard how many kind
things St. Nicholas did for his followers, SD he
stole an image OF the saint. He placed the
image in the best room Of his house, which was
filed with treasures. The next morning, before
he left the house, he said to the image: Guard
my treasures! f. when I return find anything
gone, I'll beat you weIl!" So saying, he went
away.
He had not been gone long when robbers broke
into the house and stole all the treasures, and
carried them of to their den. The man came
back and what had happened He filed
with fury. He took whip and beat and hacked
the image without mercy.
That very night St Nicholas himself appeared
to the robbers. He showed them his bruised and
bleeding form. and commanded them to restore
the treasure they had stolen They were terrified,
and gathering together all the stuff, carried It
back to its owner. They told him what had hap
pened, and he astonished that he inmedi-
ately became Christian.
