One day Nicholas (Saint Nicholas) finds out that a poor man has three daughters, who have absolutely no money for their weddings. John Nicholas arrived to help this man.
One night, he reached the chimney in the roof of this man's house and put a bag full of gold from there. During that time this poor man had put his sock in the chimney to dry.
Suddenly, a bag full of gold fell into his house in these socks. This happened not once but three times. Nicholas saw this man for the last time.
Nicholas asked not to tell this anyone. But soon the noise of this thing came out. From that day, whenever anyone would get a secret gift, everyone would think that Nicholas gave it.
