Summary
Neglecting their talents as they grow old together, Nicholas, a stitcher of poems, Nicolo, a carpenter, and Nikolai, a stonemason, rediscover their gifts and share the fruits of their labors with others in the tradition of Old St. Nick.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Once upon a time thee men met in a forest. Each had a special gift. Nicholas stitched beautiful poems on pieces of cloth, Nicolo was a talented carpenter, and Nikolai a skilled stonemason. The thee Nicks became fast friends, using their talents to build a home together.

The years went by, and one day when the three Nicks were very old men, they realized that something was missing.

They had forgotten the pleasure of using their special gifts. As they set about rediscovering that pleasure, they realized an even greater one -- the joy of sharing those gifts with others.
