The funny story answers the question of why shoes are put in front of the door and filled with sweets on St. Nicholas' Day. Monster Button tells the story of St. Nicholas. According to this tradition, Nicholas lived as a bishop in the city of Myra. Myra is in what is now Turkey. Nicholas was very popular because he was considered a friendly man who liked to help. One day he passed a house where a man lived with his three daughters. The family was so poor that the girls had to wear shoes with holes in them. The father was so desperate because he could no longer look after his children and wanted to send them away. Nicholas noticed this and decided to help the family. Nicholas secretly sneaked to the family's house at night and threw a lump of gold through the window. The gold landed in a shoe. The next night Nicholas repeated the whole thing and threw another lump of gold through the window. On the third night the father was determined to stay awake to find out how the gold got into the house. The gold nugget hit the sleeping father on the head, who woke up and caught Santa Claus. He thanked Santa Claus and his daughters were able to stay with him. For this reason, children still put their shoes in front of the door to this day - so that Santa Claus can fill them with sweets. ????
