Knights and Ladies,

today my heart is happy and laughs, as well as my irish spirit is full of happyness!! The reason of this gaiety is soon explained with the following words.

In fact I was in my residence at noon, feeding myself with my libation together with my little nephew who just began to learn the art of knoledge at the primary school. Ah, children thoughtlessness!

At the end of the lunch, as soon as my person was at the door going out, she spoke to me with this words: "Uncle, wait wait wait wait!!!". Saying that, she went out on the balcony and got close to a plant pot, put her little hand in the earth and picked up a shamrock giving it to me as a gift telling me, with typical children innocence, sweetness and conviction, that it would have brought me luck.

Ah, she does not know anything about the Irishknights; she does not know anything about the shamrock, symbol of the Green Island and how I am passionate with Her! Nevertheless I bring this such valuable gift with me.

I confirm she doesn't know anything yet about it. But if the fate doesn't lie, then this fact perhaps foreboding good news, which the Ireland spirit will bring to us with a blow of the West Wind.

I said.
