Behind the Waterfall Page #3

You two

have got me in

quite a spot here.

If i tell you

i'm not a leprechaun

you'll think i'm lying

so i can be on my way.

Tommy, you can't

judge a book by its cover.

Especially an old one.

Huh?

It's not what a person

looks like that makes

them what they are.

It's the intent

of their hearts

and the good

they are willing to do

for others that matters.

He's trying to

tell you he's not

a leprechaun, Tommy.

So you can't grant

me three wishes?

No, i can't.

If only

we could find the

lost faeden...

the what?

The what?

Surely

you've heard the legend

of the lost faeden?

What's a faeden?

The faeden is

a small gold flute,

the king of the fairies

uses to play the

song of the creator on.

It helps all

the other fairies

see the glory

and the wonder

and the beauty of life.

And Tommy,

it's also what he uses

to grant wishes.

And it's lost?

Aye.

That's quite a story.

You see, one day

the king of the fairies

comes to me

with a special order...

to make shoes

for all the fairies.

They've got this

wonderful ball coming up.

They're going to

have funny fireflies hanging...

but that's another story.

But anyway,

after he left

i realized he'd left

his faeden behind.

I put it in

me safe for safekeeping

awaiting his return.

But that night,

as i was working late,

a young man

busts into me shop

and demands all me money.

And i give it to

him, every cent.

But that wasn't enough for him,

he wanted the faeden as well.

I told him,

"it's no use to you"

"since you don't know

how to use it."

But he took it anyway.

I chased him

as far as i could,

but i lost him.

He got away from me.

But he didn't

get away from

the others.

What others?

What others?

Why, the fairies,

of course.

He tried to make

his get away through

these fields and woods.

But he never made it.

What happened?

Well, the police found

his body in the river.

Poor soul.

They never knew for sure

what happened to him,

but i do.

What?

C'mere.

The pooka.

The pooka?

The pooka?

Shhh...! Aye,

an odd fairy that one.

Comes at night

in the shape of a horse,

and beckons you

to ride him.

But if you

mount his back,

he'll take you

on a death ride

that you'll

never survive...

unless you're one

of the bravest at heart.

Wait a minute.

If they got

the thief,

then the king

got his faeden back!

No lass, seems that

he lost it somewhere

on the fairy ride.

Then the fairies know

where it is, right?

No, according

to the legend,

this area is still

filled with fairies

all looking for the flute.

Really?

Aye lad, and

they'll find

it someday.

But i kinda feel

responsible for it

and i'd like

to find it first

so i could give
