Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today each child wrote a story about leprechauns! They were wonderfully creative! Here are a few selected stories for your enjoyment...

My Pot of Gold Story
By Devyn

One day I was riding my bike. Suddenly, my bike's wheel flattened! I looked at my bike's wheel. I saw a little shoe in my bike's wheel. It was a leprechaun shoe. Then I heard a tap tapping noise. I followed the noise. It led to a bush. I quietly pushed the bush to the side. You won't believe what I saw! It was a leprechaun. A real, live leprechaun. I quickly snatched the poor leprechaun up.
"A lilttle fella like you can't get away from me. Tell me where the gold is now or I will pinch you. So, what's your choice?"
The leprechaun chose not to tell me. So I pinched him. Then I went home. On the way I saw something shining in the bushes. It was the gold! That was the happiest day of my life!

My Pot of Gold Story
By Olivia

Once when I was coming up from recess I saw a leprechaun. It led me to its gold, but all I found was a nice batch of pudding. "He tricked me," I said, "but this does look yummy!" Then I called all my friends and we all ate it together. Yum!

My Pot of Gold Story
By Chan

One day Chan was riding his bike. And then he heard a rustling noise. He stopped. He looked behind some bushes. There in front of Chan was a leprechaun stuck under a root. The leprechaun said, "Help me get out of this root!" "OK," said Chan. He pulled the leprechaun out from under the root. The leprechaun said, "Thank you and good day, sir." But then Chan yelled, "Wait!"
The leprechaun turned around and said, "What?"
Chan said, "I did a favor for you. You have to do me a favor."
"OK," said the leprechaun. "What do you want?"
"Lead me to your gold."
"OK," the leprechaun said. And so the leprechaun did lead Chan to his pot of gold. The end!

My Pot of Gold Story
By Kyle

One day I was playing lacrosse. Then I heard a tapping noise from behind the net. I looked behind the net. It was a leprechaun and I turned my lacrosse stick upside down and trapped the leprechaun in my net.
"Where is your gold?"
"What gold?"
"You know."
"Fine. You tricked me. It is under your mom's car." And it was.
