What was the story of leprechauns?

The Leprechaun legend is especially popular around Saint Patricks' Day. Standing only about two feet tall, this little old shoemaker with twinkling eyes and rosy cheeks looks friendly, but they're actually quite the tricksters. Leprechauns are given to excess, nothing appeals to a Leprechaun like a binge of whiskey, Guinness, pipe tobacco and snuff, and despite their small stature they can handle surprising quantities of alcohol. Being aloof and unfriendly little fairy souls, Ireland's Leprechauns aren't easy to spot. They spend all their time busily making shoes, and stashing away all the money their craft brings them in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Everyone's heard of the legendary pot of gold, and the only way to track one is to follow the sound of a Leprechaun hammering the shoes. They say if you catch one, he'll promise to take you to his pot of gold if you can just keep him in your sights. But these tricky little fellows know just how to get you to look away. Once you do, they've disappeared and your chance of riches is gone!
