- There was a leprehaun on Knappa hill and a girl caught him and said "tell me where is your money." He said "come with me and I will tell you where it is." They went down to a bush blow John Walshe's house and he told her that it was under that bush. She tied a white handkerchief around the bush and she let him go. She went up to the house for a spade but when when she returned to the bush she did not know the bush because there was a handkerchief around about forty bushes and she did not know which was the right one. The wealth is there yet.
