    (continued from previous page)
    reached out his hand and seized the little fellow by the waist asking at the same for a pot of gold. The little man seemed very polite in this answer. "Only put me down and I will get you the gold". The man put him down but he kept his eyes steadily fixed on him. The Leprechaun said many things which he thought would cause surprise, but the man remained calm intently gazing on him.
    He then took him to a little place under a wide ledge of rock and turning round he said "Here is your gold." There indeed in a little hole was a can overflowing with gold. The man gazed on the gold but on turning round he found the little man had vanished. He went to get his gold but to his dissapointment he only found a can of dried leaves.
