Picking up an Irish ___1___,
I was attracted to a certain Irish tale of
Leprechauns -- smart, devious little things that
would resort to all forms of ___2___
in order to escape. Leprechauns, though fictitious
characters, nevertheless provided me with an hour of
pleasant reading in that stuffy tour ___3___
where I was waiting for my turn to be served.
As I leafed ___4___
the pages, I was transported to the world of fairies
and wee folks, away from the reality of a gloomy,

I chuckled to know that the Leprechauns are ___5___
shoemakers in fairyland ! For all their magic, they

Blessed with magical powers to use if they were
ever ___7___,

My ___8___
piqued, I leaned back and continued reading. I
wanted to find out where these mythical creatures
kept their treasure pots. A few lines down and I
found that they placed their life fortunes at the
end of a rainbow.
It is said that anyone who could catch the
elusive Leprechaun would get three wishes as well as

A loud shrill signaled my ___11___

hour later, I smiled. I had just booked a ___12___
holiday to Ireland. I was off to the land of the
Leprechauns.
As I stepped out into the ___13___,
I looked up into the sky. The rain had just stopped
and a beautiful ___14___

any pot of gold at the ___15___
