    “One evening as I was comin' home from town, I saw a lepracaun in a marigold field, and just as I was near him, I took my eye off him, an' he disappeared.”

    I pulled two or three mangolds where I thought he was standing and I went home.
    I went to this field early next morning an' there were a whole lot of mangolds pulled in different places.
