ANFSCD: Clurichaun

"So anyway," Rick said. "I called you over here because in return for his freedom he's going to give us each a wish that will be granted." "Leprechauns can grant wishes? I've never heard of that. I thought genies did that," Jim said. "Leprechauns are magical creatures, Jim. I'm sure that ..." "Hey!" the little man yelled. "I told you before. I'm *not* a leprechaun." "Then what are you?" Jim asked. "I'm a clurichaun, you asshole!" the little man screeched. "Well, you're a leprechaun to me," Rick said. "So let's have them. Grant our wishes." "Rick, I think I've heard of these clurichauns. They're supposed to be more aggressive than leprechauns and can actually curse people." "That's right, *friend*," the little man said. "And if you don't get me out of this fucking cage, I'll curse yer whole *family*!" "No," Rick said. "First you grant our wishes, *then* you get out of your cage." Jim understood that Rick thought he knew what he was doing, but he knew how volatile clurichauns could be (from folklore), especially when cornered.
