Time to Catch a Leprechaun

-- By little S at 6 years old

One sunny, bright afternoon.  I, Selena and my little sister, Ellin hiked into the woods.  There were lots of trees.  Suddenly behind one tree there jumped out a leprechaun! I stood still and watched, so did my little sister. I whispered to my little sister Ellin:  "Do you want to make a plan so we can catch that sneaky leprechaun?" "I don't know." said my little sister Ellin.  "Maybe we should." I said.  So we did.  Ellin and I drew a picture in the dirt.  That was our plan.  When the leprechaun wasn't looking, I tiptoed to the nearest tree to where the leprechaun was standing.  Then my sister chased the speedy leprechaun to the tree where I was standing and I caught it!  The kind leprechaun kindly begged me to let it go, but I said:"If I let you go, will you give me your pot of gold?" "Yes!" said the kind leprechaun, and she gave me her pot of gold.  Then I let her free.  We went back home and we lived happily ever after.
