The Leprachaun (continued)
“There was once a woman who lived near a wood.”
(continued from previous page)woman looked back the leprechaun ran away through the wood. The same thing happened her the second time. But she said that if the leprechaun would go this time that the devil would be after him. Next day she caught him and wouldn't let him go without the gold. After a long time he brought her to a field where there was one white flower. He said that the gold was under that flower. She went home for every spade and shovel she had and brought them to the field. When she came to the field 'twas covered with white flowers.
