    (continued from previous page)
    His occupation is shoe-making. There are no accounts of any people who caught him or endeavoured to catch him to get him to give up his gold. Leipreachans are looked upon as being friendly beings. The Leipreachans have never helped any person. There are no accounts of any thing the Leipreachan did to anyone who interfered with them. There is no account of people connected with Leipreachans.

    Proverbs
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Better late than never.
    Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.
    What they do not know will not sicken them.
    The child is father of the man.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    What you never had you
