Jan and Katrina got up early on Christmas morning. They ran to the / fireplace. There were the wooden shoes! They were filled with good / things. There were toys on the floor beside the shoes.
"O Mother! Father! Come quick! See what the good St. Nicholas has / brought us!" cried Jan and Katrina.
"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.
