    man was out late. He heard the lepreachan making shoes. He went to him and caught hold of him. The lepreachan told him he would give him a pot of gold. It was dark and the man did not what was in the pot, but he thought it was gold. Next morning when he looked into the pot he had only a pot of withered leaves and feathers.
