When I was a kid, someone told me a story about a four-leaf clover, if I find it lucky. And it all just started because a few times I even found a four-leaf clover without searching, quite by accident. Ever since I was in the meadow and when I noticed clover near me, I went looking for a four-leaf clover and always found it. These impulses are interesting from an early age. That quest for happiness. And no one told me I had to look for happiness. I simply had it in me and I did not pay attention to the time that was constantly passing, but the task was to find a clover, pick it and be lucky and be happy.
Kada sam bio dijete, netko mi je ispričao priču o djetelini s četiri lista, ako je nađem da je to sreća. A to je sve upravo počelo zato što sam nekoliko puta čak i našao djetelinu s četiri lista bez traženja, sasvim slučajno. Otada kada sam god bio na livadi i kada sam primjetio da su blizu mene djeteline, išao sam tražiti djetelinu s četiri lista i uvijek je našao. Zanimljivi su ti porivi već odmalena. Ta potraga za srećom. A nitko mi nije rekao da sreću moram tražiti. Jednostavno to sam imao u sebi i nisam se obazirao na vrijeme koje neprestano prolazi, zadatak je bio naći djetelinu, ubrati je i imati sreću i biti sretan.
The four-leaf clover is known as the greatest symbol of happiness. A four-leaf clover must be torn off with nails or teeth and it is not good to tell anyone about it. Otherwise, each of the leaves on the clover has a special meaning:
Whoever found a four-leaf clover at midnight would reportedly soon inherit great wealth, and whoever kept it in the house would never be struck by lightning in his house.
Why do people still believe in these magical properties, even though that belief came to us a long time ago from Western countries?

Djetelina s četiri lista je poznata kao najveći simbol sreće. Djetelinu sa četiri lista se mora otkinuti noktima ili zubima i o njoj nije dobro nikome kazivati. Inače,svaki od listova na djetelini ima posebno značenje:
Onaj tko bi u ponoć našao djetelinu s četiri lista navodno bi uskoro naslijedio veliko bogatstvo, a tko bi je držao u kući, u njegovu kuću nikada ne bi udario grom.
Zašto ljudi i danas vjeruju u ta čarobna svojstva, iako nam je to vjerovanje davno došlo iz zapadnih zemalja?
There are several legends that accompany this plant. One is that Eve took a four-leaf clover with her when she left paradise.
Yet, long before the story of Adam and Eve appeared, the Druids (ancient Celtic priests) in England believed that the four-leaf clover had magical properties.
One of these beliefs was that anyone who found a four-leaf clover was given the ability to see evil beings such as witches and devils, so that he could avoid them.

Postoji nekoliko legendi koje prate ovu biljku. Jedna od njih je da je Eva ponijela sa sobom djetelinu sa četiri lista kad je napuštala raj.
Ipak, mnogo prije nego što se pojavila priča o Adamu i Evi, Druidi (staro keltski svećenici) u Engleskoj su vjerovali da djetelina sa četiri lista ima magijska svojstva.
Jedno od tih vjerovanja bilo je da svatko tko pronađe djetelinu sa četiri lista, dobiva sposobnost da vidi zla bića kao što su vještice i đavoli, pa da tako može da ih izbjegne.
According to another interpretation, the four-leaf clover was believed to bring good luck because it represented a cross, but not as a religious symbol (because it appeared in Christianity only in the third century AD) but as a solar or solar cross. Namely, people once used the Sun Cross for orientation: one straight line of the cross pointed to the place where the Sun rises or sets (like east or west), and the other two pointed north and south. The intersection of these lines formed the Solar Cross.
In reality, a four-leaf clover is actually like an ordinary clover, only with a degenerate gene that determines the number of leaves.

Prema drugom tumačenju, za djetelinu sa četiri lista vjerovalo se da donosi sreću zato što ona predstavlja križ, ali ne kao religijski simbol (jer se on u kršćanstvu pojavio tek u trećem vijeku posle Isusa) nego kao Solarni ili Sunčev križ. Naime, ljudi su nekada koristili Sunčev križ za orijentaciju: jedna prava linija križa pokazivala je na mjesto na kome Sunce izlazi ili zalazi (kao istok ili zapad), a druge dvije pokazivale su sjever i jug. Presjek ovih linija činio je Solarni križ.
U stvarnosti, djetelina sa četiri lista je zapravo kao i obična djetelina, samo sa degeneriranim genom koji određuje broj listova.
The demand for this symbol of happiness today is so great that some kennels have managed to grow varieties of clover in which this degenerate gene occurs very often, so today you can buy seeds from them and have a whole garden full of "happiness"!
What, you'll admit, and it's not that bad.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Potražnja za ovim simbolom sreće danas je tako velika da su neke uzgajivačnice uspjele da odgoje sorte djeteline u kojima se ovaj degenerirani gen veoma često javlja, pa tako danas možete da kupite sjeme od njih i da tako imate cijelu bašču punu "sreće"!
Sto, priznat ćete i nije tako lose.
Nikad nisam trazila detelinu sa cetri lista, a mnogi oko mene se daju u tu potragu i posle je nose u novcaniku. Svakako, lepo si objasnio tu povezanost sa potragom za srecom u stvarnom zivotu. Nije samo detelina cilj
