- The Lepreachaun is known to be a small little man. His height is about two feet and a half.
He lives under a tree on the side of a hill.
The clothes worn by a Leprechaun are a small little coat, and small little shoes and a little hat.
It is said by the old people that their work is mending shoes and knitting stockings. The old people also said that if you went to fetch him and he at work, and if you took your eyes off him when you would turn back he would be gone from you. But more people would rather not have anything to do with him.
