This is a very fun tale for children. I loved your description of a car! Very funny. Good job with the prompt, and I liked the moral as well :)

You have a sweet story with a solid moral. My only concern was that the "smelly animal" was never identified - a balloon for a parade - a toy of some sort?? I found no concerns with SPAG.

The " smelly animal" was a car. Thanks for reading my story and for the great review.
Comment from Val Crisson
What a fate to be turned into a human! Really enjoyed this fable, though it took me a minute to figure out the round leg part. I like that the author employs the sense of smell into this poem - itvgave more richness

Leprechauns don't want to be turned into humans! When it's for kids it can't be too scary. Thanks for the great review, glad you enjoyed it.

Cindy, Your children's story is vivid and shows much imagination. In my opinion, your moral to the story was fantastic. Very nice. Carole

I loved the story. The "smelly animal with round legs" is a terrific description of a car. The write flowed well and was enlivened by Leon's voiced thoughts.
Alas! The moral of the fable fell flat.(sic). It's wise advice and appropriate to the tale. But it lacked punch.

I wanted to add a little more but I ran out of words (300 max) and I had to wrap it up. Glad you enjoyed it otherwise. Thanks for reviewing.

An excellent moral; a good story to go along with it. It showed that laziness and careleness whould have caught him what he valued. We all need this reminder at times.

Awesome fable. I loved the way you described the car as a huge beast that the leprechaun had to defeat in order to get his gold back. Very engaging and entertaining.. Good job

The moral of your story was well shown in here. I liked the picture that went with it, it seems a lot of the leprechauns value their gold. I think we all can somehow relate to the worryness of our valued things getting stolen or going missing.

Comment from Desert Desperado
A fantastic story that kept leading me down the path to the end like a good fable should. Then, pow, the moral of the story wrapped up all the loose ends and made sense of everything. Great story.
