An Irishman is walking the moors one evening and hears this high pitched shrieking. He follows the sound and nears the edge of the quarry.
A metre or so down, he sees where the noise is coming from. Hanging from a small shrub from the edge of the cliff, is a small Leprachaun in a green suit and he's hanging on for dear life with just one hand. The Irishman can see that the shrub is starting to pull away from the rock.
The Leprachaun spots the Irishman looking down and yells out for help.
"I'll give you two wishes, if you help me up, but you have to hurry. The bush is pulling away and I haven't got long."
The Irishman can't believe his luck. He pulls his long coat off and his jersey, ties them together and then ties one end to his ankle and the other to a nearby tree stump. Risking life and limb, he hangs over the edge of the quarry and holds out his hand to the Leprachaun. Quick as a flash, the Leprachaun grabs his hand and pulls himself up and across the Irishman to safety.
After a few minutes of struggling and panting, the Irishman is back on his feet.
"Quick, hurry, I've got lots to do. What are your wishes?" Says the Leprachaun.
"I don't know really." Says the Irishman looking pensive.
"Well, let me decide your first wish as I know what every Irishman likes more than anything else." says the Leprachaun.
Paddy agrees as this seems like a good idea.
Magically, this large bottle of Guiness appears in the Leprachauns hand.
Paddy is ecstatic and takes the bottle grinning from ear to ear.
"I knew you would like it, but wait, there's more. Pull of the cap and have a real long swig."
Paddy, does just that and no sooner had he pulled the bottle of Guiness away from his lips, the bottle was full to the brim.
"That's a never ending bottle of Guiness. No matter how much you drink, the bottle will always be full."
Paddy can't believe his luck. he starts hopping around sucking away at the bottle of Guiness like a half starved baby on a teat.
"Hurry up and tell me your last wish," said the Leprachaun impatiently.
"What will it be?"
"Ummm, I know it might sound greedy, but I'll have another one of these, please. :)
