The Leprechaun

Near a misty stream in Ireland in the hollow of a tree
Live mystical, magical leprechauns who are clever as can be
With their pointed ears, and turned up toes and little coats of green
The leprechauns busily make their shoes and try hard not to be seen.
Only those who really believe have seen these little elves
And if we are all believers
We can surely see for ourselves.

(Irish Blessing)

The Leprechaun

Irish fairy. Looks like a small, old man (about 2 feet tall),
often dressed like a shoemaker,with a cocked hat and a leather
apron.  According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly,
live  alone, and pass the time making shoes...they also possess a
hidden pot of gold. Treasure hunters can often track
down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer.
If caught, he can be forced (with the threat of bodily violence)
to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor
must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's
eyes leave the leprechaun (and he often tricks them into
looking away), he vanishes and all hopes of finding
the treasure are lost.
