Leprechauns always dress in green frock coats that have seven silver buttons. Their trousers are black and the legs reach only to their knees where they are met by white knee-high stockings. Their shoes are black, have large silver buckles and the toes are said to curl upward. Their hats resemble a top hat and have a big silver buckle on the front. They wear leather aprons because they are shoemakers.
Leprechauns spend their entire lives collecting and hoarding gold coins.
They keep these coins in a large iron pot. No one knows where it's kept but some people say it is at the end of the rainbow. If you're ever lucky enough to catch a leprechaun, hold on to him tight. Do not take your eyes off of him even for a second. He will try to trick you into looking away.
