I'm a Leprechaun and I AM NOT A MYTH!!!
I should know........................
Me Ma was a Leprechaun
Me Da was a Leprechaun
Me Ma's Ma was a Leprechaun
Me Da's Da was a Leprechaun
Etc etc
Just because you don't believe in us doesn't mean we don't exist
For your information I about 2 foot one
I do like saving for a rainy day (been saving for approx 479 years). Quite a tidy bit squirreled away actually.
However shoe mending is no longer a viable business - all the shoes are mass produced and a load of rubbish. You just cant mend them!
If you visit Ireland and happen to see a wee chap pass you buy, you might just have to look twice..
Bye Now....
PS Take a look at me hat if you dont believe me... |

The two responses below pretty much explain what Leprechauns are pretty well.
They are male fairies native to Ireland (We don't believe in them and we know they aren't real, just like the Banshee etc)
I just had to put that in as when I visited a certain country which I won't name, they assumed that we believed in them. |

Leprechauns are an Irish cultural myth. A leprechaun is a type of male faerie said to inhabit the island of Ireland. They are a class of "faerie folk" associated in Irish mythology and folklore, as with all faeries, & quasi-historical peoples said to have inhabited Ireland before the arrival of the Celts.
Leprechauns and other creatures of Irish mythology are often associated with "faerie forts" or "faerie rings" — often the sites of ancient (Celtic or pre-Celtic) earthworks or drumlins.
They usually take the form of old men who enjoy partaking in mischief. Their trade is that of a cobbler or shoemaker. They are said to be very rich, having many treasure crocks buried during war-time. According to legend, if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon one, he cannot escape, but the moment the gaze is withdrawn, he vanishes. |

Leprechauns are mythical, and I repeat, MYTHICAL! Here's a definition : A Leprechaun is a mischievous Irish elf: in Irish folklore, a small man with magical powers, often dressed in green, who works as a shoemaker and is believed to know where treasure is hidden.
Irish people are NOT LEPRECHAUNS!!! lol I know that you didn't say we were, but some people are just eejits. |

Leprechauns have been described as "Ireland's national fairy." They are found in Irish myth and folklore and are much like elves or pixies, etc. They appear as small bearded old men, usually dressed in green and brown, with a waistcost and a hat. They are said to be shoemakers by trade, and the word leprechaun is thought to be derived from the irish word "leath bhrogan" meaning shoemaker.
Leprauchan's are seen as a symbol of good luck and fortune. Legend has it that if you catch a leprechaun, he will lead you to his pot of hidden treasure (usually depicted as being buried at the end of the rainbow). However if you do manage to catch a leprechaun, you must not take your eyes off him, if you do, he will disappear. Leprechauns will try to trick you by making you glance away from them so that they can escape. They are clever and mischievous creatures. |

Leprechauns are mythology. They're not real and I think they are associated with Ireland because they are Green. |
