Stories of the Leipreachán
“Once upon a time there lived a man in Esker named Pat Quinn.”
Once upon a time there lived a man in Esker named Pat Quinn.
One hot summer's day as he was coming home from his work he spied a leipreachán under a big tree suming his money. So he ran over to the leipreachán, took out a button out of his pocket and threw it on the money.
Then he told the leipreachán that the money was his. So the leipreachán told him the best thing he could invest his money in was land. So he bought land and ever afterwards he had a big farm of land.
