    There was a fairy there long ago called the Leprecán. He had a pot of gold. The man that could catch him would be very rich. But no one could catch the fairy because he was too clever. Everyone that captured him he made a wonder and they looked round when they would look again he would be gone. He would put them looking for his pot of gold.
