BG AND THE LEPRECHAUN

BG was a dog. A dog who liked to run and jump and play. But most of all, BG like to roll. Roll in the green green grass. But one day during a great roll, he yelled "Ouch, Ouch!"

"Wait a minute. It's just me, a leprechaun on the lawn."

"So what are you doing there?"

"Taking a nap, till you rolled on top of me."

"Sorry."

"I'm just waiting for a good rain. Then the rainbow. Then the pot of gold."

"I've heard about that. Is it true?"

"Sure is," the leprechaun answered. "Wait with me if you like. But then what would a dog do with a pot of gold?"

"Oh, I'd buy a new doghouse. One with carpet in it. I'd buy a new water bowl. And a new bowl to eat out of."

"Sounds good. Stay here with me till it rains."

After a day and another day, it rained hard.

"Now we wait for the sun to come out," said the leprechaun.

And it did. The rainbow was bright red, blue, purple, and yellow. But they had no time to admire it. They ran to the end.

There was the gold. BG and the leprechaun had enough gold to share where each of them had plenty.

The leprechaun took his gold and said so long to BG.

BG thanked him. Then he spent the gold on the new doghouse. New carpet to keep him warmer in the Winter and softer in the Summer. He got a new bowl and new drinking bowl and still had enough gold left over to buy a collar.

And what color to do think it was? All the colors of the rainbow, to remind of how he got his new doghouse with carpet, two bowls, and his beautiful collar.

The end. Well, almost. That was a story I told to Nathan, my 4 year old grandson visiting from Illinois. He liked it so much and remembered the details the next morning, that I thought I might share it with faithful blog readers who may need a story to put a little one of their own to sleep. Sweet dreams.
