- The leprechaun is about two and a half feet high, he is dressed in red. He lives in a wheat field in Woodquarter + he is called the Fairy Shoemaker, a lot of people made attempts to get his gold but they never succeeded to get it. He lived beside a house in the country. The man that lived in the house was very poor + he often chased the little red man for his gold, but when the man was dying he called the leprechaun but he had not forgiven him + he went to the door + cursed him. The man died a week later+ the Leprechaun took away his body to the wheat field
