  1. The Leprechaun

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time as a woman was going through the wood of Bellair she saw a Leipreachan sitting under a mushroom mending shoes. He was dressed in red with a green cap and he had shoes with bright buckles.
    He did not see the woman until she was in front of him. When he looked up that woman said to him.
    "Now Ihave got you, Tell me where the gold is". The Leipreachan looked in front and said " Oh! what is that behind you?"
    She looked behind and saw nothing. but when she looked around again the Leipreachan had disappeared.
