Leprechauns come in two distinct groups - leprechaun and cluricaun. leprechauns来,在两个截然不同的群体-l eprechaun和c luricaun。 A cluricaun dresses very stylishly with a jaunty cap, large silver buckles on his shoes, beautiful gold laces and pale blue stockings. 1 cluricaun穿得非常时髦与jaunty鸭舌帽,大银扣他的鞋子,美丽的黄金鞋带和浅蓝的丝袜。 You will never see him wear an apron or carry a hammer. 你将永远不会看到他穿围裙或携带榔头。 He has a jolly grin, a slightly pink-tipped nose and is almost always drunk and cheerful. 他有一个长胜露齿而笑,稍微粉红核弹头的鼻子和几乎总是喝醉酒,和开朗。 Pass him by, for he never has any money, or any idea where treasure is buried. 通过他的说法,因为他从未有任何金钱或任何想法而珍惜的是被埋葬。

(如果你不想用真钱,你可以轻易取代巧克力黄金包裹的硬币或使自己的所切割出界纸板书画他们黄金) 。

Place the trap near some trees or hedgerows. 地方陷阱附近的一些树木或灌木。 Make sure it's disguised well and blends into the surroundings. 确保它的隐蔽好,共混物到周围环境而定。 When the Leprechaun sees the coins he will try to collect them. 当leprechaun认为,这套金银纪念币,他将尝试搜集他们。 He will step onto the tissue paper, it will break and he will fall into the box. 他将跨上了卫生纸,将被打破,他会陷入票房。 Now quickly throw the net over him. 现在快扔净值超过他。
