   The old people say that if you see a Leprechaun and tell him that you would give him a prod of a needle he would tell you where there is a pot of gold, but if you take your eyes off him you would never see him again. A man caught him and he told him that he would give him a prod of a needle. He told the man that he would get a pot of gold under the flag leading into the kitchen. He dug the flag but he could not get anything. Some man came to him and told him to dig deeper till at last they came to a big flag. The two men were a long time trying to lift the flag but at last they raised it. They got the pot of gold. They got it up and hid it.
