Wonder, the Leprechaun
Once there was a leprechaun named Wonder. He wasn't very nice. Once he got caught, but he escaped. Then I caught him. It was hard, but I'll tell you how I did it.
I was sitting in my seat and something was twittling at my feet. All of a sudden all of the school's traps went off. Guess what? My trap caught him! I got to bring him home. Guess what again? He had five pots of gold at my house. I let him keep one pot of gold. My family and I lived happily ever after. If I catch him again, I'll give him to you, so you can have some gold.

The Runaway Gold
Once upon a time there was a little old man named Larry. He had a dog named Lucky. His dog was lucky a lot. One day he was working in the forest and he heard something. He saw a little man who was green all over. He saw a movement in the bushes. He tried to catch the man, but he ran away. Larry knew his tales, so he knew that it was a leprechaun.
The next day he saw it again. He caught it this time. The leprechaun showed him where the gold was. Larry marked an X on a tree where the gold was buried. He woke up early in the morning with his dog. There were Xs all over, but his dog smelled gold. He followed his dog and got the gold. He was rich and he lived happily rich forever. He decided not to catch leprechauns again.
