According to another legend, a robber entered a tavern and murdered and dismembered three children and placed their remains in barrels, which were pickled, salted and cured for customers to eat. St. Nicholas entered the tavern and was asked if he was hungry. Nicholas replied: not of what the tavern was offering. He then made the dismembered children whole again. This tale led to him becoming the patron saint of children and stories of him giving presents to good children and twigs to naught ones.
