Stories of the Leipreachán
“Once upon a time there was a man walking between two hedges...”
Once upon a time there was a man walking between two hedges on a hot summer's day and he came upon a leipreachán suming his money. He ran over to him, caught hold of him and took the pot of gold and hid it under the ground. In the morning when the man went back to look at his pot of gold, to his great surprise it was all turned into dried leaves.
