a pot of gold
According to a legend, if you catch a leprechaun you must be told where he/she hid a pot of gold.
The popular legend of the leprechaun runs thus: if a leprechaun is caught, he must grant his captor three wishes and/or his pot of gold. Walt Disney solidified this legend in popular thought by releasing the movie "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" which features a battle of wits between a crafty but simple old man and the jovial but witty king of the leprechauns.
A leprechaun is an Irish imp or goblin. Leprechauns are usually depicted as small dwarves resembling elderly little men. The legend is that a leprechaun can be made to reveal his buried treasure (gold) if he is caught by a human.
If a leprechaun was born in 1979 and it is currently 2021, the leprechaun would be 42 years old.
Darby O"Gill and the Little People based on the Leprechaun legend in part.

You should never let him go -but nobody has been able to hold on to one yet.
Leprechaun
Supposedly, after a Leprechaun has been caught, the person must watch them at all times in order to receive the golden prize that is promised by legend. The Leprechaun is a very tricky creature, and will try to convince you to look away from it so it can make a clean escape. Even a second of looking at something else, a simple glance in another direction, is enough to give the Leprechaun a chance to get away. If the Leprechaun gets away from you, regardless of whether or not you saw it, OR caught it, there will be no prize for you, only the memory of this little shoemaker farie.
Its very old it MIGHT come again
