A

The first little tamale ran until she came to the Prairie she breathed in the smell of sagebrush yeah no I want to live here. The first little tamale said she built herself a little house, a casita out of sagebrush and moved in. She went to sleep that night, surrounded by the sweet smell of sage.

F

Now, let's go to Ireland for a story from Teresa Bateman illustrated by Paul Mizell called the leprechaun under the bed.

F

Brian O'shea enjoyed his privacy. A leprechaun can be alone without being lonely like to say, indeed, he would know for he made a snug home beneath the ground in an out-of-the-way spot.

F

But time went on big tall human people moved nearer and nearer until one day, a man named Sean McDonald started building a stone cottage right. Overhead Brian tried Leprechaun magic to stop Sean. He made Sean, see headless ghosts and a Bashi rising right out of the foundation stones of his cottage.

F

But his plan backfired- it's just like my sainted, mother used to told me Sean, declared and delight the land of Ireland is full of magic and surprises all too soon a fine cottage stood over Brian's home, so he built a door under brian's bed on moonlit nights. Brian would cobble outside when it rained. He worked under Sean's bed, deliberately disturbing the man's sleep. You know in Ireland. It rains a lot, but he didn't wish to be discovered. So if Sean moved Brian Wood Whisperer now, don't you be threatened your wee little head?

F

It's only the cat under the bed.

F

After a week of restless nights, Shaun decided he had to know why he wasn't sleeping well, so he went to bed as usual, but even though his eyes were closed, his ears.

B

F

Open at midnight the tapping began and Shaun sat bolt upright now, don't want to be threatened. Your wee little head, it's only the cat under the bed. Oh.

F

Right, it's only the cat, wait, I don't have a cat, and even if I did, who ever heard of a talking cat.

F

So what could be under the bed? Oh Shaun smiled his mother had always said that there was a leprechaun in the house. Was a fine piece of luck. Luck. He couldn't afford to lose so next morning, Shaun made stirabout for breakfast and he placed a bowl of it under the bed for the cat at lunch, the bowl was empty, so he put in some stew from that day on every time he filled his own plate. He added a bit for the bowl under the bed for the cat.

F

Now Shana was a hard-working man, but his small farm produced barely enough times grew hard and times grew harder. Until there came a day when Shawn went to bed with both his stomach and the bowl empty.

F

The next morning, gold coin gleamed in the middle of the kitchen table what a blessing it is to have a cat in the house. You were marked allowed before hurrying out to buy good food.

F

They lived well for weeks on that coin, but soon the cupboard was bare again and another gold coin appeared consider this alone. Shawn said until times are better Thank You cat, but when Shawn went to buy his oatmeal and potatoes, there was more than one eyebrow raised in the village. A poor man might have saved with gold coin for hard times, but.

F

Mm-Hmm well, gossip ran like water through fingers and as it spread, it grew. Sean McDonald must have a whole chest of gold coins hidden in his cottage and what many tongues say. Be it true or not. Many ears hear two robbers caught wind of the tale and decided that no one deserves Sean's gossiped gold more than they did one crisp dry morning. They hid outside waiting for Shawn to leave, and then they slipped into his cottage tossed the cupboards and pried stones. Out of the fireplace they made a terrible racket.

F

Such a clatter and made Brian poke his head up from under the bed. He was shocked at what he saw, but what happened next was worse. The cottage door swung open as Shawn returned for a forgotten tool.

F

No more time than it takes to tell the robbers tied the poor man to a chair tell us where you've hidden the goal they bellowed fearing for Shawn's safety, Brian banged his hammer against the floor to catch the robbers attention hey now. What's that one of the men asked fearing for Brian's safety Shawn spoke quickly. Now, don't you be threatened your wee little head? It's only the cat under the bed.

F

Cat, the man replied well, the beds. The only place we haven't looked as Shawn worried, Brian grinned, both robbers stuck their heads under the bed and there they saw exactly what Brian had told them. A cat.

F

But this was a wild cat with eyes like lightning and claws like knives, the cat smiled at the robbers and then licked its lips as if it found the sight of them tasty.

F

With a shriek, the men tumbled backwards and then fled, as if the devil himself were at their heels. Brian laughed till tears ran down his cheeks.

F

Shawn chuckled, as well as he wiggled free of the rope. Then he stretched and bowed in the direction of his pillow tis, a grand thing indeed having a cat beneath the bed, he declared I replied a voice from below and it's a pleasure having a friend above it.

F

And they lived well and happily for the rest of their days.
