A poor, kind peddler owns a cast-iron pot which is inscribed with a saying he can’t read. After St. Patrick visits him in his dreams, the peddler heads to town and finds someone who can translate his pot. It says “Here I stand, old and good, With something better under me.” With this kind of clue, he digs underneath his house to find a fortune in gold.

Jamie wants to be in the St. Patrick’s Day parade, but his family has told him he’s too young to make it all the way up Acorn Hill, along with everyone else in the parade. Early the morning of St. Patrick’s Day, Jamie decides to walk the parade route alone and see if his family is right. Will Jamie get to march in the parade? Can he prove his family wrong?
