The Origin of the Pot of Gold
The most well-known origin story of the leprechaun’s pot of gold at the end of the rainbow involves a couple of poor farmers in Ireland. When this husband and wife pulled their very last carrot out of their garden, they found a leprechaun dangling from the roots. Being captured, the leprechaun promised one wish in exchange for his freedom.
The husband and wife could not decide on just a single wish, so they began wishing for everything—new tools, a house, jewelry—and the list continued until the leprechaun interrupted them. Dismayed by their greed, the leprechaun told the couple they might have all they wished for and more if they could find his pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow. The leprechaun winked and left the farmers to chase rainbows forever, looking for a fictitious fortune.
And that's where/how 'a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow' came from. 😀
Thank you so much 😀!
So you see, it does harm to ask, as you might just get the answers!
I didn't know the story behind it.
Ahhh poor farmers... they'll never find the pot of gold..
Because rainbows are in full circles, hehehe.
😀
No harm in asking at all. If you don't ask, you don't know. And what is the worst that could happen if you asked? You don't get an answer - which is what you don't know in the first place. So, nothing to lose and plenty to gain by asking. 😀
