magical creatures that live in the forests of Ireland. They look like a tiny, old man with pointed ears, red hair and red beard. They wear Green coats and trousers, a green top hat and buckled black shoes. Leprechauns are extremely grumpy. They make shoes and like to smoke a pipe of tobacco which smells horrible! Each Leprechaun also has a pot of gold which they hide at the end of the rainbow. If you catch a Leprechaun he will lead you to his pot of gold and give it to you as a bribe to let him go. Leprechauns are naughty, they like to cause mischief. They like to hide in trees and although they are small, they can usually move very fast and are nearly impossible for a human to catch! If you are lucky enough to capture a Leprechaun, don’t take your eyes off the Leprechaun for even a second or he will disappear!
