Dinty's POV:
I told Colleen about de leprechauns and how I was given all av deir gold. "dat is a big responsibility," says Colleen.
"I don't even know what to do with it all," I said.
"I have an idea," says Colleen, "you could give me de gold and I could get de leprechauns to turn it to a boat and den we could sail out av 'ere and wouldn't it be nice to breng de leprechauns?"
"Yeah," I said, "it'd be like Christmas in Killarney!"
Dinty: Christmas in Killarney is wonderful to see
