Question

The story of Santa Claus began with a kind bishop named Saint Nicholas. He lived during the fourth
century in what is now Turkey. He often gave presents to children and poor people in secret. One
day he heard about three young sisters. They were poor, lived alone, and had nothing to eat. So he
climbed up on their roof, and dropped three bags of gold down their chimney. The legend of this
good saint and his generosity grew. Now, children believe that Santa
Claus lives at the North Pole with his wife and his reindeer. This friendly old man wears a red coat
and black boots, and has a long white beard. Over the centuries he has come to be considered
magical and a symbol of Christmas time.
