Have you ever heard the bedtime story of the three leprechaun wishes? Well, one day, a man named Greg was walking through the Irish countryside. Suddenly, a small bearded man girded in green popped up out of the grass.
"Hello, how do you do?" he said.
Greg didn't know what to say. "Um, ok I guess. Who are you?"
"I am a powerful leperchaun that can grant you three wishes."
Greg didn't know what to think but he was very poor and in need so he decided to take the offer.
"What is your first wish?" Asked the leperchuan.
"My first wish is to have seven pigs."
"Your wish is granted," said the leperchaun. "What is your second?"
"My second wish is to have three chickens," said Greg because he was in great need of eggs.
"Your wish is granted," said the leperchaun. "And what is your third wish."
By this time, Greg was beginning to feel very greedy because he realized that he could have anything in the world. "My wish is to have unlimited wishes," said Greg.
"Ah, you think you can outsmart me like that you fool. Well you are mistaken," said the leperchaun as he took back what Greg had wished for and bounding away through the grass left Greg poorer than ever.
