  1. "Leprahauns"
    One time a mother and her son lived in a small cabin at the foot of a hill
    The boy used never go outside the door
    His mother told him that he would never catch a "Leprehuan"
    One morning he got up very early and he saw a Leprahuan under a tree
    He caught the Leprehuan and asked him for the money.
    After a long time the "Leprahuan" came to a field and he went near a flower and took a pot of gold from the ground
