  1. Leprechaun

    Share Share Post
    There was a man going home one night across the fields when he was in the middle of this field he saw a lepreachaun. There was a (lonsome) lone bush where he saw the lepreachan. The man's name was Jack Black. This field belongs to Thomas Farrelly now.
    There is another man going home from his (book) work one Winter's night. And when he was coming on this lonsome road he saw a little man. This man's name was James Burn.
