B. Follow the yellow brick road
C. Follow the sound of his shoemaker’s hammer
D. Follow the trail of Lucky Charms
YOUR TRIVIA ANSWER:
C. Follow the sound of his shoemaker’s hammer
TT: A leprechaun looks like a very small, old man (about 2 feet tall). According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass the time making shoes…they also possess a hidden pot of gold. If caught, he can be forced (with the threat of bodily violence) to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him. If the captor’s eyes leave the leprechaun (and he often tricks them into looking away), he vanishes and all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.
