But it features the often-forgotten story of the Inky Boys: Three kids who tease a black boy for being black, and then get their just desserts when St. Nikolas dips them into a big vat of ink. When they continue to tease the boy, they just come off as a bit racially insensitive to a modern day reader, while in fact it the ridiculous racists they are.
