The legend of the leprechaun probably sprang up to explain the hoards of treasure and grave-goods buried and dropped into lakes and streams by the pagan Celts. A thieving fairy probably seemed the best explanation for the mysterious caches.
The Lurikeen
The lurikeen of Kildare is nearly identical to the modern concept of the leprechaun. He is a tiny goblin shoemaker, as most tales recount, who is so industrious that he is caught unaware and forced to reveal the location of his hoarded treasure. In order to do so, however, one must keep an eye on him every moment, lest he escape, a feat that is notoriously difficult to do, as the lurikeen is an exceedingly clever creature.
