    he opened it he found to his bitter disappointment that it did not contain the gold he had expected to see, but only a small hammer, and all the other implements that are used for repairing boots. The boy then looked from the box to the Leiprechaun in astonishment. The Leiprechaun told to go home and make use of what he had found, and in this way he would make his gold as he himself had to do. The went home and did as he was told.

  2. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Oh Blessed Virgin, Queen of Heaven,
    Always true to me.
    Whereupon my trial day there wilt surely plead for me
    But if ever I would be cast away no more thy son to see
    Oh Blessed Virgin, Queen of heaven always pray for me.
    As I lay down my head to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep.
    If I should die before I wake, Jesus Christ my soul to take.
