He took great care to give his customers exactly what they paidfor—not more and not less.One Saint Nicholas Day morning, when the baker was just ready for business, the door of his shopflew open. 31 She asked for a dozen of the baker’s Saint Nicholas cookies. Van Amsterdamcounted out twelve cookies. But the woman insisted that a dozen is thirteen. Van Amsterdam was not aman to bear foolishness. He refused. The woman turned to go without the cookies but she stopped at thedoor, saying, “Van Amsterdam! However honest you may be, your heart is small and your fist is tight.”Then she was gone.32 His bread rose too high or not at all. His pies were sour or too sweet. His cookies were burntor doughy. His customers soon noticed the difference and slipped away.A year passed. The baker grew poorer and poorer. Finally, on the day before Saint Nicholas Day, nocustomer came to his shop. 33That night, the baker had a dream. He saw Saint Nicholas pulling out gifts from his baskets for acrowd of happy children.

Then somehow, Saint Nicholas turned into the old woman with the long black shawl!34 He suddenly realized that he always gave his customers exactly what they paid for, “Butwhy not give more?”The next morning, on Saint Nicholas Day, the baker rose early to make cookies. And to his surprise,the cookies were as fine as they could be. When he had just finished, the old woman appeared at his dooragain.
