The Leprechaun
A seven year old boy named Ben was planning to catch a leprechaun from the beginning of the year until St. Patrick’s Day. He ran right out of bed! Ben had his trap set up! Eight coins polished with nail polish that looked like gold.
It was on a real pot! So it looked very real. The trap was almost under the table. Ben went and had a big snack and a drink. After that he waited almost one hour and a half until it was 11:34. He left front door open so the leprechaun could get in.
In a little bit he saw the leprechaun. Ben was very quiet. The leprechaun was attracted to the polished coins! There was a box on top of the table. The leprechaun didn’t see the box but he saw the polished coins. The leprechaun went to the coins not knowing that if he dove in the pot it had a string on it tied to the box. If the pot fell over, the box would fall on him. The leprechaun dove into the pot and the box fell over. There was a little hole that the leprechaun could just fit in. Ben was lucky for the trap to work! The leprechaun was trapped in the box. Ben felt so smart and asked the leprechaun where was the gold. The leprechaun said, “My pot of gold is over the rainbow.” “Alright” said Ben and he went to get one piece of tape to cover the little hole. Ben cut a little hole in the front so he could see the leprechaun.
Then they went outside. Ben was carrying the box where the leprechaun was. The leprechaun said, “Quick, the rainbow might go away and that’s our only way to know where the gold is!” When Ben wasn’t watching, the leprechaun jumped as high as he could to reach the tape and he made it out after pushing with all his might. He escaped! The leprechaun said, “Better luck of the Irish next!” and ran off. Ben looked in the box. The leprechaun was gone!!! Ben said, “Ugh!” but noticed the leprechaun left him five gold coins and yelled: “I’m not that mean!” Just then the rainbow disappeared . What a mystery! Ben accepted what he could get. After all, it is pretty good!
