- There was a man called Tom Doyle coming home from work and he was going through a bog. He saw a leprechaun and he caught him and asked him for his purse of gold. The leprechaun said he had no money that he was only a poor cobbler. Tom said he would carry him home and boil him. He carried him home and put him into a pot and he put the cover on the pot. After a while when he took the cover off he was gone.
