We can infer that the man is Saint Nicolas. In pararagraph 14 it states that the family saw him go up the chimney and he was saying "Merry Christmas"

It is a simile because its comparing by using like or as.I think it means that they don't have anything left like food or items from their home.

I we were to write a moral of this story is to be kind to people and it will come back to you.In paragraph 6 they let the man come in their home to get warm and then try to make them laugh.Also in paragraph 14 they begged him to stay and eat with them.

With only paragraph 7, it is easy to interpret that the stranger is Saint Nicolas: "white old Beared Fellow", A cane, and as well as "merry old man"

A simile, Using a term like "as" to make a comparison to a Mice:a little dirty animal trying to survive on scraps, and church

If we were to set a moral, it would be that no matter how down your family is you need to always have faith in yourself and always be nice to people, because that will come back to you in a better way.

It is a simile because it uses "like or as". The author uses this simile to show how poor they are.

The moral is to always be kind to people because one day it can come back to you in a better way.

The stranger is likely Saint Nicholas. His merry, around figure and joyful behavior-making jokes, telling riddles, and singing songs-match traditional depictions of Saint Nicholas

The phrase “as poor as church mice” is and example of simile, which is a type of figurative language that compares two things using “like” or “as”. In the context of this story, it means that the family was extremely poor, as mice in a church typically don’t have access to much food or resources.

I believe and infer that the stranger in the story is Saint Nicholas and I came to this conclusion because of his joyfulness and whimsicalness. Coupled with his demeanor as a person and these match what the real Saint Nicholas was like.

It was a simile because they used "as". And it was said as a way to show just how poor exactly the family was. Comparable to mice
