What are leprechauns?
Any idea? It's an Irish elf. I always thought they were good creatures... No, there are very mischievous indeed. The pranksters of Irish. You would expect them to be wearing a green coat and green hat and to be of a size of a child. They are shoe makers and have a pot of gold hidden somewhere.

The Legend of the Leprechaun By Sheri Amon
Oh, the leprechaun, a mysterious fellow,
An Irish fairy he be.
An unfriendly sort who keeps to himself,
A miserly fellow is he.
Making shoes for his living, not a bit does he spend,
Instead stores it all in a pot.
At the end of the rainbow his hiding place is,
And to find it will bring you good luck.
If you happen to hear a shoemaker's hammer,
tis the sound that a leprechaun makes.
Find him and corner him,
he'll tell you his secret,
If a stare you can maintain.
Look not away for this fairy is
