“It’s a peg leg. Now tell me where I can find the little creep that took my leg or I’ll squirt sap all over you. And talk normally. Trying to figure out what you’re saying makes my orange drip.” He squeezed the leprechaun for emphasis. Drippy’s orange color really was starting to drip on the ground. A frog was splattered by some and croaked.

“I dunna know who tuk it, but ya can find yer leg if you luk on de other side of yerself. Let me go!” He struggled some more.

“What do you mean: look on the other side of myself? That doesn’t make any sense.” The Irish brogue was really hard for Drippy to follow, but he concentrated hard.

“If ya wanna find de pot of gold at de end of de rainbow, ya have to luk on de other side of de rainbow. So luk on de other side of yerself!” He struggled again.

It was too hard to follow and didn’t make sense, so Drippy swung his leg and tossed the little green man far out of the forest, over a few hills and past a dale. Then he stood there awhile and thought about the words.

A drizzle was falling from scattered clouds and the sun shone just right for Drippy to glow brightly. The sound of the rain pitter-pattered against the trees and ground, creating a gentle symphony. A thought occurred to him that rainbows always looked toward the sun if it was out. Rainbows always looked forward.

Without moving, Drippy looked on the other side of himself. To his immense surprise, he could see his leg far in the distance to the south near the coast. It was a glistening sort of a glimmer that could be seen through everything in the way.

He began walking backward toward it as fast as he could possibly move. He ran into a few trees and a barn along the way, but kept going in desperation to recover the leg before anything else happened to it.
