    saw a leipreacán inside a ditch. He took hold of the leipreacán and he said he would not let him go until he would tell him where the gold was. The leipreacán showed him the tree under which the gold was. The man put a red string around the tree and he went home for a spade when he came back the leipreacan had put a red string around every tree.
