  1. A leprechaun was seen sitting under a sgeac about five years ago. He was a very small man and he was dressed in red and green. He had a tiny hammer in his hand.
    James Nolan Coole saw him. He was going to his work at six o'clock in th morning. He saw the leprachaun and spoke to him. "Good morning" he said "you are out very early" "Not so early as the man at the other side of the road" said the Leprechaun. The man turned around but saw nobody. When he looked back the leprechaun had vanished.
