The Search For Seamus’ Gold
Whenever people go looking for something you can pretty much guarantee that in the end it isn’t what they find that’s important but rather what they learn along the way. Well not this time. This is a search for gold and no new age ‘the journey is its own reward’ type nonsense could be more fulfilling than digging into the ground and pulling up a bright green pot full to the brim with gold coins. And if there’s a four leaf clover resting on top all the better.
Now I know some of you are probably wondering how I can be so sure of finding gold. It’s a scientific fact that leprechauns bury their gold under rainbows and if the pair of you look to your right you’ll see a rainbow whose arch ends just over that hill so all we have to do is climb over the hill and we’ll be quids in. If we’re lucky we might just catch Seamus himself burying the gold - in which case he then us three wishes each as well. Mine are world peace, a Playstation 2, and the new Manchester United strip.
What’s that Tom? Yeah I know I could buy the strip and the Playstation with my share of the booty but if I got those as wishes I could use the gold to buy other things like the new FIFA Soccer game. Another question Tom? No, I don’t know why leprechauns bury gold; they just do. It’s in their blood like squirrels burying nuts or monkeys eating bananas with their feet.
Good question Richard. We’ll divide the gold evenly between us, though I will get an extra share as it’s my idea and I’ve brought the spade. No Tom, you can’t go and get your own spade and even if you did that wouldn’t entitle you to an extra share as well.
Now the digging will be divided equally between us but I’m not expecting to do too much digging as leprechauns only have small hands so need to bury things near the surface. Okay Tom, I agree the leprechaun could use a spade but it would only be a small spade so my point still holds.
I’m glad you asked that Richard. Leprechauns are dangerous so there is the possibility one of us could get hurt. Probably it will be Tom but that’s a chance I’m prepared to take. Now lets get a move on before somebody beats us to it.
