Irish Leprechaun Legend

Legend Of The Leprechaun

Legend has it that if you are so lucky to spy a Leprechaun and demand his pot of gold, you must remember one thing. Do not take your eyes off the Leprechaun. Not even for a second. Do not even blink. For if you do, the Leprechaun will vanish and you will be not be having the best of days going forward.

You see, Leprechauns are Imps and they do not wish to be bothered by folks poking around their business. A failed attempt to remove the pot of gold from a Leprechaun could cause harmful results. You see, once the leprechaun is out of your sight just for a split second, the power you have over him is revoked. At that time, the leprechaun may reciprocate and trick you into doing harm to yourself.
