A Story
“Some time ago there lived a man in the village of Knockatoher.”
So time ago there lived a man in the village of Knockatoher. One day he was going to Athenry and he saw a little man at a lovely part of the road. When he came him he saw that he was counting money. He had a row of what looked like two shilling pieces, and half crowns. He just thought he would take the money off the little man.
He just looked behind him to see if anybody was coming that would see him taking the money. Suddenly the little man and the money disappeared. It was the gracie leprechaun. The man was very disappointed but it is an old saying if you take your eye off the grasie that he would go.
