Using a garter to mark the boliaun plant that a Leprechaun revealed his pot of gold was buried under, Tom Fitzpatrick ran off to get a spade. While the Leprechaun promised he wouldn't remove the garter, every boliaun in the field sported an identical garter by the time Tom returned. #MythologyMonday
#Celtic#FairyTaleTuesday#FairyTaleFlash: „Should you hear a tapping hammer and a wee voice singing, keep a sharp eye out, for there may be a #leprechaun about!
"Lay your ear close to the hill.
Do you not catch the tiny clamour,
Busy click of an elfin hammer,
Voice of the Leprechaun singing shrill
As he merrily plies his trade“?"
