The rainbow troll, Iranian legend for children

Do you know what a pixie is? Did you ever see one? Legend has it that just where the sky meets the earth, sometimes very small characters appear who are called goblins. The goblins are characterized by carrying a pot full of gold, but are usually invisible to humans. The only way to see them is when a rainbow appears, it is a bridge of union between heaven and earth.

It is said that these goblins that have red beards, a hat and green clothing, are located at the end of the rainbow and are very intelligent and elusive. They are known as Leprechaun and despite their size, they look old. Many say that they have found them, but in the least careless they disappear.

It is also said that the only way to capture them is to stare at them and tie them on the right foot with a thick rope. The goblin, in his desperation of freedom, offers his pot filled with gold to his captor. Although this is not as easy as it seems. According to this legend, the elves are experts in mischief and tricks. It will distract you, and at the first blink of the observer, it will disappear with the gold coins.
