%%%%%%%%%% Place the Story Here %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Once upon a time there lived a girl who once saw a Leprechaun.  She
was AMAZED.  She introduced herself but the Leprechaun ran away because he
was a baby.  He escaped from Ireland.

\newpage

But it was the wrong day anyway.  Baby Leprechauns can't go out on St. 
Patrick's Day anyway.  

\newpage

So the king and queen of the Leprechauns had a meeting.  They had a big 
search.  Every single Leprechaun tried to find him, but nobody could.  the
mother and father of the baby Leprechaun were terrified.

\newpage

Every person who lived in Ireland caught one because they did not know how 
to get out of the traps from the people.

\newpage

Then a nice person came by.  His name was St. Patrick.  He got them out of 
the cages.  He cared for Leprechauns so he came with the Leprechauns.  If
a person came by, St. Patrick would say, "No, don't look them up.  They are 
our friends, even though they do silly stuff to us."

\newpage

They were excited for him to be with them.  So they looked and looked.  They
never found poor baby Leprechaun.

\newpage

Years went by.  Then right when they woke up, the poor little Leprechaun
was right in front of them!  They were so happy!  They had waited ten
years.

\newpage

Everyone said, "What changed in you?"  People said, "Did your eyes, no
maybe your hair changed?"

"Nope, it's that I am bigger so now I can go out on St. Patrick's Day.
Yeah!"  They lived happily ever after.
