the three wise men are kings who come to give presents/worship to jesus

Additional Answer:

Nowhere in Scripture does it say 3 wise men came to see the Christ (Matthew 2). It simply states that 'wise men' from the East came. Further, the 1st word for 'East' (verse 1) in the Greek is 'ton anatolon' meaning 'far east' and the 2nd word for East (verse 2) in the Greek is 'te anatole' or being west of some geographical marker. Some historians believe this to be the then Parthian Empire.

In verse 11 it says they say the YOUNG CHILD - not an infant. Point to consider. Also, they presented their treasures to Him of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

It is apparent then that the stable scene with 3 Kings visiting an infant Jesus is based upon the interpretations of Man and not of the Bible.
