THE LEGEND OF THE LEPRECHAUN
If you should be walking along a wooded path some moonlit night in Spring and
hear the faint tap-tapping of a tiny hammer, you might be lucky enough to catch
a glimpse of an Irish leprechaun, the elfin shoemaker, whose roguish tricks are
the delight of Irish story-telling................(continued below)

According to legend, the leprechaun has a pot of gold hidden somewhere, and
he must give up his treasure to the one who catches him. You'll have to step
lively and think quickly to capture a leprechaun's gold though, because this sly
little fellow will fool you into looking away an instant while he escapes into the
forest.
A story is told of the man who compelled a leprechaun to take him to the very
bush where the gold was buried. The man tied a red handkerchief to the bush in
order to recognize the spot again and ran home for a spade. He was gone only
three minutes, but when he returned to dig, there was a red handkerchief on
every bush in the field. As long as there are Irishmen to believe in the "little folk",
there will be leprechauns to reflect the wonderful Irish sense of fun, and many a
new story of leprechaun shenanigans will be added to Irish folklore each year.
