It's odd how legends're both startlingly accurate and wholly slanderous. If I told ye I were a leprechaun, ye'd probably think me a pocket-size-liar and a curse-bringer, an imp who teases people and provides nothin' but empty dreams. Ye'd be wrong. Leprechauns have our own ways and world, and live out our lives for the most part peaceably therein, but fer now I'll just tell ye about what ye think ye know. I'll tell ye about me gold.

It's true that all leprechauns do have a pot o' gold. It's true that we can and do grant wishes, but it's not true that we turn those wishes into curses. The wishes of most humans is naught but a curse in a blessin's skin, after all.

There are also things few, if any, humans get right about us. Leprechauns aren't hard to catch, nor are we tiny enough to fit into a small sack. All of that, now...slander!
