My Adventure Through the Woods-They Do Exsist

I was walking in the woods near our vacation cabin. And to my surprise I saw a pot of gold. I wondered to myself where could it lead? To my amazement I saw the most beautiful rainbow in the world, in the distance. It had a mesmerizing and hypnotic allure. All of a sudden I heard movement in the bushes. I couldn't believe what a I beheld next. I saw a dozen leprechauns. I blinked but they didn't disappear. They were still there . The littlest one said” What's the matter ladd? Haven't thine eyes seen a leprechaun before?” I said” No, I thought you all were just a myth and make believe.” “ Well you found me gold and it's yurs. Bet all will believe you now.” I turned to look at my big pot of gold and I turned back to tell them thank you. But they all had vanished. That happened many moons ago and although I told my whole town about the gold. I was labeled the town fruitcake. They said some pirates must have misplaced their gold. I often said if that's the case how you can explain the “pot”. They said a treasure is a treasure. 10-8-18 Contest: Fictional Write Sponsor: Dear Heart a.k.a. Broken Wings
