Rainbow's End

I'm still looking for the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow over Spout Hills this morning. G, A and I went for a local walk today due to the heavy showers forecast - we thought we'd picked a nice sunny gap in the weather, but were soon in the midst of a heavy shower. The compensation was this lovely rainbow. 

Once upon a time, the Vikings lived in Ireland, looting and plundering as they pleased, then burying their ill-gotten treasures all over the countryside. When they eventually departed from the Emerald Isle, they inadvertently left behind some of their booty, which the leprechauns found. Now, the leprechauns knew the Vikings had gotten their treasures through stealing, which was wrong. This bad behavior made the leprechauns mistrust all people, Viking or not. In order to ensure no humans could take what they now considered their gold, the leprechauns reburied it in pots deep underground all over the island. When rainbows appear, they always end at a spot where some leprechaun's pot of gold is buried [source: Mystical Myth].
