I love the folklore of Leprechauns!
I've heard of Leprechauns but I don't know the folklore behind them. What are they exactly?
They are little bearded men that wear a green coat and hat. They like to make trouble!
Aren't they supposed to hide pots of gold or something like that?
Yes! They hide gold at the ends of rainbows. I would like to find some of their gold.
I wouldn't mind finding some of that gold either. What else do Leprechauns do besides that?
Leprechaun
A leprechaun () is a type of fairy of the Aos Sí in Irish folklore. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If captured by a human, they often grant three wishes in exchange for their freedom. Like other Irish fairies, leprechauns may be derived from the Tuatha Dé Danann. Leprechaun-like

I don't know what they are either."
