What do you think leprechauns are?

Leprechauns

Irish children are told that at the end of every rainbow there is a leprechaun with a pot of cold. Leprechauns are very clever and fast. They've got red hair and a beard, are very small and they usually wear a green suit and hat. They live alone, under the ground, in the countryside and make shoes. They like to make music and tell jokes. 

Catching a leprechaun 

When you catch a leprechaun, you can do three wishes! That's why Irish children make their own leprechaun traps.
