  1. The Leprechaun

    Share Share Post
    The leprachan is called the Cluaracan in this district. He is supposed to be about six inches high. His work is mending shoes. He lives in a rath or under a mushroom. If he were caught he would give you a crock of gold but if you took your eyes off him he would dissappear. He wears a green jacket a red cap about a foot long a white pants and a large pair of shoes that are coming to a point.
