Transcript of The Leprechaun and the Man.. Once there was a leprechaun that lived in a small house at the edge of...
He loved gold so much that if no one waslooking, he would steal their gold right out from under their noses.
The funny thing was that the animals and peoplethat he stole from still wanted to be his friend,because he was so cleaver he made them believe that someone else had stolen their gold!
Perhaps he fooled them because he had such a warm smile. Perhaps he fooled them because hewas a fast and smooth talker.
Until one day he met his match…
A handsome, well dressed, andwell mannered man visited theleprechaun.
“I could make you very rich he toldthe greedy leprechaun.”
If only you had some gold toinvest….
The greedy leprechaun started thinking aboutwhat the man had said. He loved gold, gold, andmore gold.
The man told the leprechaun to hide hispot of gold at the edge of the rainbow foreveryone knows that a leprechaun issupposed to put it there.
The greedy leprechaun did not hesitate.He quickly put his gold at the end of the rainbow and waited for his fortune to double or perhaps quadruple.
But the man was as tricky as the leprechaun.As the leprechaun hid his gold at the end of theRainbow, the man hid and watched.
When the leprechaun was off dreaming aboutThe gold he would soon have, the man stole theleprechaun’s gold and hid it in the bushes.He left the leprechaun an empty pot.
However, the man did not notice that others were watching….
so to trick both the man and the leprechaun, they re-hid the gold.
When the man and the leprechaun each noticedthat their gold was gone, they became veryangry at one another.
The leprechaun stomped his feet when all that hefound was a pot of clovers.
The man was as mad as a bull. He threw down the shamrocks that had been left for him and walked off deeper into the woods where he hoped he could find another leprechaun.
