“About thirty years ago a girl saw a leprechaun in my uncle's farm at Moygue.”
About thirty years ago a girl saw a leprechaun in my uncle's farm at Moygue. He was under a white thorn bush mending shoes. The girl who saw him was working at my uncle's and when she saw the leprechaun she ran home to my uncle's and she told him what she had seen and my uncle went with her to the field but when they came to where the leprechaun had been he was gone. He was often looked for after but no trace of him was ever found
