  1. One day a woman caught a Leipreacan and she put it in a box and she said she would not let the Leipreacan out till he gave her the crock of gold he told her to dig a hole so she dug a hole in the ground and she got the crock of gold. She was going to Churn one day so the Leipreacan spilt the milk and she said she would cut the head off him and he said he would give her another crock of gold so she let him out. Then he turned the money into stones.
