You nearly caught me!
A note from the leprechaun
Dear [child’s name],
Top o’ the mornin’! What a clever trap you built. I was SO close to being caught — my boot got stuck and I only just wriggled free.
I couldn’t resist the gold, so I borrowed a little… but I’ve left you some in return for being such a brilliant builder.
Try again next year. I bet you’ll make it even trickier!
Your sneaky friend,
[leprechaun’s name] ☘️
