  1. "Leprechaun" is the name the people call the Leprechaun in this place. He is a small name and wears a red jacket and a big hat with a tassel on it. In the wood he lives at the bottom of a tree. He is always shoe-making.
    He has his money hidden in a pot under the ground. A Leprechaun did not help anyone in this place. He did not revenge on anybody who did anything to him.
