I'm a little leprechaun
Dressed in green,
The tiniest man
That you have seen
If you ever catch me,

So it's told
I'll give you my pot of gold

You are thought to be lucky if you find a four-leaved clover.

The three leaves of the shamrock represented Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 Leprechauns are little Irish fairies, and they are thought to work as shoe-makers for other fairies.

The Irish say that if a leprechaun is caught by a human, he will reveal where he hides his pot of gold.

Some people even dress up as leprechauns complete with their big green hats!
