  2. A Four-Leaved Shamrock

    Share Share Post
    If you get a four leafed shamrock and cut it with a six pence and put it in your purse you will never want for money.
    If you get a four leafed shamrock when you are milking a cow it is lucky. If you looked for a day you would get a four leafed shamrock. When you do not expect it you get it. Sometimes roots of shamrock are sent across the seas to foreign lands to be set there, but they never grow. No shamrocks were ever seen in Ireland until St. Patrick stooped down and picked one.
    When ever a horse foals a four leafed shamrock grows and every one marks the place to get it the following year.
