  1. The Leprechaun

    Share Share Post
    There was once a man who was going from Castleblakney to a fair that was in Mt. Bellew. He looked inside a wall and there he saw the Leipreachan picking black-berries. "What are you doing there" said the man. "I am picking black-berries to make a pie for my wife that was sick said the Leipreachan. Look at all the black-berries that are behind you there said the Leipreachan. The man looked and when he looked again to where the Leipreachan was he was vanished.
