The Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow
What’s the story behind the
pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow? Well, you are about
to find out. It dated back to
Ireland, where the Irish say,
“ Fairies put a pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow that
the leprechaun tries to steal.”
The leprechaun represents
your greed, the rainbow represents the trail you’ve followed to get to your gold.
The legend was made into a
lot of stories and books to
teach a lesson. Books like
this have become bestsellers,
whether they teach a lesson
or not. Books such as, Kiku
and the Rainbow Girl and
Our End of the Rainbow use
this metaphor.
Some people argue that there
is a pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow. Maybe there is
maybe there’s not. Go take a
look for yourself. You may
end up as rich as a leprechaun. Has anyone made it
there? I guess you’ll find out
when you get there.

Top 3 Places to go to on Spring Break
There are a lot of places to
go to on spring break. These
are the three best places to
go. Number three on the list
is the Bahamas. The white
sands of the Bahamas lure
hordes of sun seekers year
after year. But even those
who aren’t avid sunbathers
can soak up the scenery and
Caribbean culture. Number
two on the list is Cancun.
Cancun has long held its reputation as a popular spring
break destination in North
America. Finally, number one
on the list is Miami Beach.
Although a Florida vacation
can be pricey, this Miami
mainstay is surprisingly acces-
sible. Those are the top
three places to go to on
spring break.
