The farmers could not decide and wished for many things. The leprechaun told them that they could have all these things if they found his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

The farmers spent the rest of their lives looking for the nonexistent pot of gold.

Today, a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow is a metaphor for "something you really want to have or you really want to achieve."
