  1. Leprechauns

    Share Share Post
    Long ago Leperahauns were very often seen by people. They used to wear a red hat and a red coat. They used to spend the most of their time making shoes. Their was once a woman and she always wanted to see a Leperahaun. One day she caught one. He was sitting on a stool under a tree. She started to talk to him, until at last she caught him. He asked her to let him go, but she would not let him go until he would give her some money. At last he said Feach an mbeann sin aca ag dul ag ceannact na broga uaim. The woman looked around when she looked around again he was gone
