leprechaun:
(plural: ‘leprechauns‘; pronunciation: for the right pronunciation of this word, please click here)
(in old Irish stories) a kind of fairy (elf) in the form of a little man who is believed to show hidden treasures to whoever catches it,
a leprechaun
e.g.
It seems every Irish person has a personal experience with a leprechaun, and, as it seems, is proud of leprechaun stories.
If we understand the moral behind the stories of leprechauns, it’s quite evident that they tell people not to be greedy and lose what you have for what you desire.
There are leprechauns in our midst… in the role of greedy businessmen, corrupt bureaucrats and politicians who steal public wealth.
