What is a leprechaun? Where do they come from? What do they symbolize? You'll find the answer to all of these questions if you just keep reading.
Leprechauns originated from Ireland many years ago. A short, easy, kid-friendly definition of a leprechaun is: a short sly Irish man who lives in the forest with his pot of gold, waiting for someone to capture him and redeem his treasure. It is said that at the end of every rainbow lies the leprechaun and his treasure. Here is the story of one man who almost captured this sly little man.
There once was a man who came across a leprechaun and convinced the little creature to take him to the very bush in which his treasure was kept. This bush however, was in a very large field, which was surrounded by many other bushes. The man (who thought he was so clever) tied a red handkerchief to the bush so that when he came back to the bush with his shovel, he could identify it and begin to dig at once. After only being gone for three minutes, the man came back only to find that the leprechaun owning the treasure had tied a red handkerchief to every bush in the field!
