43、Van Amsterdam！不管你有多誠實，你的心是小的，而你的拳頭是緊的。然後她就離開了。從那天起，Van Amsterdam 的麵包店處處出錯。他的麵包要不就是發的太高、要不就是根本發不起來。他的派不是太酸就是太甜。他的餅乾不是太焦就是太軟。他的顧客很快注意到差異而走光了。一年過去。麵包師愈來愈窮。終於，在聖尼古拉斯節的前一天，沒有任何人光顧他的店。凝視著未賣出的聖尼古拉斯節餅乾，他祈禱聖徒尼古拉斯能夠幫助他。那晚，麵包師作了一個夢。他看見聖徒尼古拉斯從他的籃子裡抽出禮物給一群快樂的孩子。無論尼古拉斯拿出去多少禮物，總是有更多的東西可以給人。然後莫名其妙地，聖徒尼古拉斯變成那位批著長黑披肩
