Did You Know?

A leprechaun is a short character (2ft 6" tall) of Irish Mythology. The first leprechaun sighting was in the 8th century. While there are some female leprechauns, they're harder to catch than males. Working as a shoemaker, an Irish leprechaun makes dancing shoes for fairies, as they like to dance. This work makes them wealthy and they horde their gold in a crock. Leprechauns keep their crock of gold hidden underground, but if you ever catch a leprechaun they are obliged to tell you where it's hidden. 

The best time to spot a leprechaun is at dusk or at dawn. Listen out for that tiny hammer, making shoes for the fairies. Remember if you do catch a leprechaun, don't take your eyes off them as otherwise, they will disappear! Happy hunting.
