8. Leprechaun is a midget who knows where all treasures are hid d e n. He always ha s 2 purses. One with gold coin and one with silver coin. People meet him very rarely. If you catch one of them, he’ll tell you where the treasure is but he won’t give you his riches. Because of L eprechauns there is an idiom: „ T he treasure is at the other end of a rainbow” which means that it’s uncatchable. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wiki pedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/20 06_AEGold_Proof_Rev.png/170p x-2006_AEGold_Proof_Rev.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wiki pedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/2 006_AESilver_Proof_Obv.png/22 0px- 2006_AESilver_Proof_Obv.png http://pixabay.com/static/uploa ds/photo/2013/07/12/17/20/ luck-152048_640.png
