An Irish Tale of a Leprechaun


Leprechauns are small Irish fairies known as self-appointed guardians of ancient treasure. It is said they bury the treasure in pots located at the end of the rainbow. If caught by mortals he promises you his treasures.

He also carries two pouches. In one he has a silver coin that is magical and returns to his pouch each time it is paid out. In the other pouch there is a gold coin. He uses this coin to bribe his way out of captivity. This coin usually turns to leaves or ashes once he has left. But remember! Never take your eyes off of the Leprechaun for he will disappear in an instant.
