- Long ago in the olden times the people had many tricks and the one trick everybody prefered was in search of the Leipreacháns. One bright fine night a woman named Mrs Cassidy was out visiting and on he return she spied a Leipreachán under the tree and he shoemaking. She went in and seized him and she took him home with her. He would not tell her where he had the gold and she put him into a box and kept him there for two days and he would not tell her where he had it so she had to free him and she did not get anything. She is now very old and does not go anywhere. She lives in Raherolish.Told by,
