gold. If you catch one, you can

threaten to hurt him if he

doesn't tell you where the

treasure is. But, you must keep

your eyes on him every second.

looking away, he will disappear.

finding the treasure.

The shamrock

Leprechauns

.

The stories about Leprechauns tell

how they are very clever little

creatures. They look like a small, old

man.

According to the stories,

leprechauns are unfriendly

and unsociable.

They live alone, and pass

the time making shoes

for the fairies.

According to legend, Saint Patrick

used a shamrock to explain about

God. The shamrock, which looks like

clover, has three leaves. Saint Patrick

told the people that the shamrock

was like the idea of the Trinity that

in the one God there are three divine

beings: the Father, the Son and the

Holy Spirit. The shamrock was sacred

to the Druids, so Saint Patricks use of

it in explaining the trinity was very

wise.
