The Leprechaun
The Leprechaun(Derived from the Gaelic luacharma'n, "pygmy"; or leith brogan "maker of one shoe".)
Leprechauns are very small pixies who hang out in farmhouses or wine cellars.
They assist the general public and perform small favors for them.
They love to swap items with humans, asking for supplies, furniture and other resources,
for which in return they give objects which bring luck and fortune.
It is no secret that a leprechaun possesses a treasure (usually a pot of gold)
which a human may obtain if he succeeds in capturing one, which is extremely difficult.
Leprechauns are known for their trickery, which they often use to protect there much-fabled treasure.
Even after capture, a person may not take his eyes off of him for an instant, for then he will vanish.
Do they have jobs? Of course they do. Leprechauns are cobblers and make shoes for other fairies.
Oddly enough, they never make a pair, just one shoe.
They are often seen by humans and are usually dressed in old-fashioned
clothes; green, with a red cap, leather apron, and buckled shoes.
Leprechauns are mainly found in Irish folklore.
