The man was looking for a way to make his fortune when his eye fell on the leprechaun. As anyone knows, a leprechaun must lead you to a pot of gold; but keep your eye on him all the while, or he will disappear. The tradesman was clever and greedy, a match for the leprechaun. The leprechaun was wily--leading the tradesman a merry chase over the countryside until the pot of gold was almost in sight. Then the leprechaun played the meanest trick of all. A master storyteller, Richard Kennedy amuses, sometimes startles, and always challenges his readers. Marcia Sewall matches his wit with her own clever pencil."

Les aventures de Tom Sawyer (Les\grands Classiques Illustres Ser. #No. 449)
by Mark TwainExtracte: . . . d'una gran alzina que hi havia a la vora del riu. La batalla era aleshores en tot son esclat. Sota la incessant conflagracio de llampecs que flamejaven pel cel, totes les coses que li eren a sota es destacaven amb exactitud precisa i neta d'ombres: els arbres cots, el riu inflat i amb un esblanqueiment d'escumes; els ruixims de l'aigua esquitxadora; les opaques siluetes dels espadats altivols de l'altra vora, llambregats en mig de les vapors que flotaven a la deriva i el vel travesser de la pluja. Sovint sovint, algun arbre geganti abandonava la lluita i queia amb un espetec entre la jove tanyada; i els terrabastalls incessants de la tronada es convertien ara en esclats que fendien l'orella, punyents, aguts, explosius i esglaiadors que empalmaven inexpressablement. La tempesta culminava en una brao incomparable, que semblava que havia de fer-ne miques, de l'illa, i abrandar-la tota, i ofegar-la fins al cim dels arbres, i endur-se-la en la ventada i ensordir tota cosa viva que hi tingues estatge, tot plegat i a l'ensems. Era una nit ferestega per romandre-hi una minyonia, lluny de l'aixopluc de la llar. Pero a la fi la batalla s'exhauri, i les forces es retiraren amb menors i menors amenaces i rondinaments i la pau recobra la seva autoritat. Els minyons tornaren al campament, forca esporuguits; pero hi trobaren encara quelcom de plaent, perque el gran sicomor, l'abric de sos jacos, era convertit a ruina, enderrocat pel llamp, i ells no hi havien estat davall quan la catastrofe s'esdevingue. Tot el campament regalava i allo que havia estat foc tambe; perque no eren sino minyons atarantats, com esqueia a llurs anys, i no havien pres mesures contra la pluja. Veu's aqui materia de descoratjament, perque la pluja els havia atravessat i tenien el fred als ossos. Foren eloquents en llur desastre; pero al cap de poc descobriren que el foc havia rosegat tan amunt de la soca contra la qual havia estat bastit (alla on ella s'encorbava. . . "
