The Irish Legend Of The Leprechaun.
The Leprechaun is the most widely known myth of Ireland. Dating back to medieval times the tales were about water spirits called (Luchorpa'n) meaning small body. Over the years it evolved into a mischievous household fairy said to haunt basements and drink heavily. They are said to be tricksters never to be trusted. They are always males usually old men but over time they say they can be small and child like wearing green suits, but in earlier tales they say they wore red clothing. Some claim that the word leprechaun came from the word (Leath Bhrogan) meaning shoemaker. Some are good luck Leprechauns. They collect gold in pots and hide them at the end of the rainbow. If Humans catch them they are granted 3 wishes before they can be released.
