leprechaun
In case you don’t know about leprechauns, here is a short

article to help you.
Little creature,
Where’s your treasure?
Oh mischievous fairy,
Grant us a wish,
So we can be rich
And you can be free.
Leprechauns are mythological and legendary creatures

which belong to the Irish folklore. Just like fairies,
leprechauns are very small. They are often represented
wearing a hat, trousers and a coat. They generally wear
black shoes and have a red-haired beard. They also have
pointed ears and a pointed nose with long agile fingers.
Legends say they live in forests and caves mending shoes
and gathering shamrocks. They are very mischievous and
hide their gold in cauldrons at the end of a rainbow. If a
human ever catches a leprechaun, he’s granted three
wishes in exchange for the creature’s freedom.
