DICKSON, TN, USA -- John Christian Stokes, 10, found three four leaf clovers within 20 minutes while playing with his brother outside his home in Dickson - setting the new world record for the Most Four Leaf Clovers Found in the Fastest Time.
His Dad, Mr. Charles Stokes, tells the story: "The amazing find started when the young man having a typical after school afternoon playing with his brother outside his home in Dickson, Tennessee when as all boys do he begin to explore first by playing in the dirt and then the grass when he begin to look at the clover."
"John did it, a once in a lifetime find where he actually found a four leaf clover to lift his spirits and brighten his day but, what happened next was simply amazing."
After showing his family his new find he went back to look for more and what do you know he found another to which his mom and dad said they�ve not found but one four leaf clover maybe in their entire life.
Now the question you may ask is what would make this a world record? Well the answer for those of us who are older may just be this �He believed�.
John actually, believed that he could find another four leaf clover and with no thought to the odds, chances or even the limits that we who have lived the odds and have placed limits on ourselves he simply went back outside to find another one and when he did in under 20 minutes�
The Guinness world record for the for the largest collection of four-leaf clovers belongs to Edward Martin Sr. from Cooper Landing, Alaska, USA, with 111,060 four-leaf clovers, as of May 2007, which he has been collecting since 1999.
