Hi i’m Leppy, Leppy the leprechaun i work for a company called rainbow inc we look after all of the pot’s of gold at the end of rainbows. But on Friday I was given a different mission I was told to go the leprechaun school and give Charles a magic item. He could choose out of a magic hat, belt, shirt, pants and boots. But of course things didn't work out the way i wanted them too, you see when you are a leprechaun there is always other mythical animals that are jealous of you. I can’t even count how many angry unicorns or sassy demons or rude elves that i have run into.


So when i got about a quarter of the way to the school I ran into a demon. “Hey what's in the bag Mr 4 leaf clover” He yelled. “None of your business” I said back “well it sounds like my business” he answered. You see I really don’t like it when people talk to me like that so I pulled out the magic hat and turned him into a potato. Then I put the magic hat on my head and kept on walking.


When I got about halfway, guess what I met? I met a big unicorn, “Hey what’s in the bag” he yelled “none of your business” I answered.” Well it sounds li…” well I could see how this was going to go so I pulled out the magic belt and turned him into a potato before he could finish his sentence. Then I put the magic belt on and kept on walking.


When I got about 3 quarters of the way to the school I ran into an elf. “Oy you give me that bag” he yelled. I was already late and I really didn’t need to be any later. So before he could say anything else I pulled out the magic boots and turned him into a potato. Then I put the magic boots on and kept on walking. I finally made it to the school but when I asked the leprechaun where was Charles he said “sorry but Charles is home sick today.” I was so mad that I pulled out the magic shirt and the magic pants and turned the leprechaun into a whole bag of potatoes.


Now I am ordinary Mythical animal at day and superhero at night. I turn all of the demons, unicorns, elves and annoying front desk leprechauns into potatoes.
