Paddy was digging his garden one day, when he saw a little creature at his feet. He lifted his shovel up to kill it, but to his surprise it spoke.
“Paddy, I’m a leprechaun. Spare my life and I will grant ye three wishes.”
“Three wishes? Done!” said Paddy, then thought: “Well, I am thirsty from all this digging. I would like a bottle of cold Guinness.”
The leprechaun snapped his fingers and Paddy found he was holding a bottle of Guinness.
“That there,” said the leprechaun, “is a magic bottle. It will never empty — it will pour forever.” Paddy took a swig. Lovely. “What are your next two wishes, Paddy?” asked the leprechaun Paddy thought, “I think I would like two more of these, please.”
