    The fairy man that in this district is called the Leprachaun. He is dressed in a green jacket and a red cap and big shoes. He is about a foot high and is always making shoes. He carries a small hammer and a shoe last. He is supposed to live in old raths. Anyone that would cath him he would he would promise them gold and tell them to meet him in a certain place and when they would go there he would not be in it
