Napoleon, hesitant to believe this folk tale, coming
across a four-leaf clover right at the front-feet of
his horse, out of curiosity, bent down. At that time
a bullet crossing right over him, he survived(Believe

Easy to be mistaken for a wood sorrel, but 3 smaller
leaves composing bigger one leaf, are separated and
form a complete circle, different from a wood sorrel,
in which 3 smaller leaves form a heart.
