đThis is the third in our wee Pot oâ Gold geocaches, hidden near one of our gatherinâ places if ye dare try to find it. đ
According to Irish lore, Leprechauns were once mighty warriors that had a magic spell cast on them causing them to be wee tiny magical lads. They live in hiding, sometimes in the roots of trees, or under rocks, or in fields, or other places we donât normally think to look. Leprechauns spend their time collectinâ bits oâ gold and hidinâ it at the end of a rainbow. Theyâre seldom seen , very shy lil lads. Tisâ told that if ye are stealthy and lucky enough to catch one, ye yget to keep his fortune. Ye must be very sneaky cuz these lads will do anything to protect their pot oâ gold from beinâ stolen! The wee lad will use all kinds of trickery to get ye to take your eyes off him for a wee moment, and he and his gold will magically vanish! So if youâre ever walkinâ down an Irish lane, listen for a tiny tap-tap sound, and go to the hollow of an ancient tree, stump, rock, or torchâŚsneak up with stealth and take a peek to see if ye can spot the wee lilLeprechaun makinâ his tiny shoes. If ye can outwit the devious lil trickster, ye might discover his pot oâgold when heâs not lookinâ.  Donât mind if a wee bit of Leprechaun gold dust gets on ye, for it brings good luck.
