YOU CAN'T TRUST A LEPRECHAUN!

For Beginning Readers (Primary)
Everybody knows you can't trust those trickly little Irish fellows dressed in green - don't they? Well, the poor grumpy troll in this story is having a terrible time trying to figure it out. He's determined to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Only problem is, he's taking his traveling directions from the very leprechaun who owns the pot. The troll travels back and forth between the rainbow's beginning and end, right side and left side, front side and back side. Each time he finally reaches a destination, he finds no gold - just the leprechaun ready to give him a new set of traveling directions! Will this story never end? Possibly not. The readers of this piece think the troll is out there this very minute, still stomping around trying to find that elusive pot of gold.
FORMATTED FOR 11 READERS (but easily adapted for more).
10 Solo Easy-Reader Parts, 1 Leprechaun, and an All Chorus of as many readers as desired. Note: Reader 11/Leprechaun has the most difficult reading lines. This part might be read by the teacher, a student teacher, or another older reader, if needed. Please check this out by clicking on the sample pages below.
Depending on the size of your class, you can add more solo readers than the original 11 by assigning additional reader numbers to the unassigned solo lines. (After the first 11 speak once, no reader numbers appear on the script. This is done so you may either continue using the same 11 readers OR create additional parts. Simply pencil in numbers and continue).

The Teacher's Version of this script includes information about leprechauns, possible staging and costume suggestions, and ways to establish the proper rhythm or beat for the ALL CHORUS lines.
