Did you know that a leprechaun is an Irish fairy who looks like an old man?

Did you know that he  is not taller than two feet?

Did you know that  he dresses like a shoemaker wearing a cocked hat and a leather apron?

Did you know that Legend says that leprechauns are unfriendly and also live  alone and spend their days making shoes?

Did you know that each one also has a pot of gold and you can track down a leprechaun by the sound of his hammer?

Did you know that if you catch him and threaten him and not let him go he might tell you were the whole pot of his hidden gold is.

Did you know that he is  very tricky and can easily distract you when  you catch him and vanishes so  you will never find the big pot of gold after all?
