A leprechaun is a little creature from Ireland that looks like a tiny man. They love shiny objects and are known to be very mischievous. Leprechauns are said to live in the forest near rainbows and hide gold coins in pots at the end of rainbows. People try to catch leprechauns to get the gold, but they are very fast and tricky so it is hard to catch them. Leprechauns are also known for wearing green clothes and pointy shoes, and they have a big hat with a buckle on it. They love to sing and dance and play pranks on people, but if you do catch one, they have to grant you three wishes. Some people believe that if you see a leprechaun, you will have good luck for the rest of your life.
