    weave that same coat and 2,000 more of them to pick the wool for it off the lambs and dye it green with the herbs. Then he disappeared and the man never saw a leiprechain again.
    One day a man was fishing and he head the mermaid singing
    I lately took a notion
    To go diving in the ocean
    And speaking with the mermaids at the bottom of the sea
    She is a beautiful singer. When he had finished fishing he heard someone laughing and singing. She has a head like a woman and a tail like a fish. There was a sudden stillness in the water and he threw in a stone and she hunted him.
