Although it began in Ireland,
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in
countries around the world. People
with Irish heritage remind
themselves of the beautiful
green countryside of
Ireland by wearing green
and taking part in the festivities.
In Ireland, clover leaves are
also called shamrocks. Fields
of clover or shamrocks are part
of what make Ireland’s
countryside so green.

Stories from Ireland tell about magical
little people called leprechauns who
make shoes for fairies. Fairies wear out
their shoes quickly because they dance
all night. Leprechauns sell a lot of shoes
to fairies and the fairies always pay in
gold. This is what the stories say. What
do you think?
