"Let that be a lesson to you, my boy," said the Phoenix. "Beware the Leprechaun bearing gifts. But I wonder why the thought of the Banshee frightened him so?" They followed the path until they came to the mouth of a cave under a heap of rocks. LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU MY BOY SAID THE PHOENIX BEWARE THE LEPRIKON BEARING GIFTS BUT I WONDER WHY THE THOUGHT OF THE BANSHEE FRIGHTENED HIM SO THEY FOLLOWED THE PATH UNTIL THEY CAME TO THE MOUTH OF A CAVE UNDER A HEAP OF ROCKS
o the clouds and drop him. Or should we take him back with us and hand him over to the Scientist?" "Now, don't take offense, Your Honor," said the Leprechaun. "I thought you'd look at it as kind o' comic." "Exceedingly comic," said the Phoenix severely. "I am quite overcome with mirth and merriment. But perhaps--_perhaps_--I shall let you off lightly if you tell us where the Banshee lives." "The--the Banshee of Mare's Nest Wood?" "The same. Speak!" A new light of respect and fear came into the Leprechaun's eyes. "She's a terror, she is. What'll you be wanting--" "None of your business!" roared the Phoenix. "Where is she?" The Leprechaun had begun to tremble. "Follow the path yonder through the wood until you reach the cave, Your Honor. You're not friends o' hers, are you? You'll not be telling on me? I'm real sorry for those jokes, Your Honor." The Leprechaun's fright was so genuine now that the Phoenix relented and let him go. The little creature dashed off like a rabbit into the bog.
