Manachar and Munuchar and the Leprechaun...

KIDS STORIES
About this episode

St.Patrick's Day Bonus episode!
This really is the strangest and funniest tale- and I remember these names sticking in my head when I was a kid! I could find many versions of this story but little information on where it came from- it is as mysterious as the characters themselves! I love how it describes the more traditional idea of what a leprechaun is also- they are said to really be more devious and cunning than the happy chap we see on the box of Lucky Charms! I hope you enjoy this bonus story for St. Patrick's day! La fhelie naomh Phadraig daoibh!
