It was a mild spring this March, a very mild spring indeed. Spring is the season that brings everything fresh and new: it is the start of everything wonderful. Everything comes alive in the spring and things that were dormant awaken.

Nathan, Michael and Zachary looked to many rainbows that painted the skies with their bright colors. They often played in rain showers when rainbows usually appeared. Zachary, Michael and Nathan sometimes made their own rainbows with the water hose during summer play.

What Nathan, Zachary and Michael did not know was that they were about to begin a magical adventure—an adventure based in legend of long, long ago in a far way land.

Our story begins in a country far, far away in the land of Iarland and the town of Glockey Nora. And no… I don’t know how things are in Glockey Nora; so don’t ask! Anyway, legend has it that all leprechauns come from Iarland. A leprechaun mind you, not trolls! And the patron saint of all leprechauns was St. Glarneyfemdias. He was born in Glockey Nora a long time ago and green was his favorite color.

Now, Glockey Nora is particularly green around the time of St. Patrick’s Day. Also, many things came from Glockey Nora... The cheering song of the skylark bird... The breeze that brushes over the hills and dales... The hanging branches of the tall, weeping willows... And the gentle babbling of the pristine flowing brooks...

Glockey Nora, however, was most famous for its legends. The most famous legend was that “you will never grow sick or poor if you look to the rainbow.”

Zachary, Michael and Nathan’s eyes grew real big. The legend says if you can find the end of the rainbow, you will be near a pot of gold buried by a leprechaun! He will show the location of his crock of gold to anyone who catches him so says the legend.
