    The story says that anyone who catches him will get a crock of gold. It is very hard to catch him. Even if you catch him he will try every trick to get your eyes off him. If he succeeds in getting your eyes off him for one second he is gone. Then you hear a laugh coming from the ferns or heather nearby.
