This is not a joke (The rest of the story)...

As it turned out my little leprechaun was not on his own... oh... and he didn't disappear. He was soon followed by two other leprechauns, a tiger, and a monkey. They actually stood on the street corner and waved at cars for a while. Now you might be wondering why this strange assortment of creatures would be seen walking the streets in Ireland... It turns out that my leprechaun was not a shoemaker for fairies, but rather was a cereal maker. He along with his two friends, Pop and Snap, make some kind of cereal. I forget the name but it is supposed to be famous. The tiger's name was Tony and the monkey seemed to be cookoo for 'Coco Pops' (yes, he is in Ireland!). The small gang was pointing the way to the finish line for a bike race that was sponsored by Kellogg's.

I don't think I will ever forget how funny it was to see that first guy (I think that his name was Crackle) walking down the road. I laughed so hard that I cried.


I also need to add that despite the fact that someone obviously staged having all these guys on the side of the road, I am still convinced the little person that I saw in the wood was INDEED the real thing!
