  1. There was once a man shooting wild-geese named Michael Caulfield Garryedmond Claremorrus when he came to a place where he knew there were leprechauns. He caught one of them and said to him "Give me your money." He said "The fellow behind you has the key." The man looked around to get the key from the man behind him. There was not any man behind him at all, and when he looked round again to ask the other one where was the man where was the other one with the key. While he was turning around the leprechaun went.
