The Leipreachán or Mermaid
Once upon a time a man was out looking at his sheep. He got a mushroom and under it there was a little red man shoemaking. The man caught him and asked him for the crock of gold. The Leipreachán said. "I have no gold, the person behind you that has it". The man looked behind him and saw nothing but when he looked again where the Leipreachán was he was gone.
