Leprechaun - Leprechaun In Irish folklore, leprechauns are a type of elf said to inhabit the island of Ireland. A few Irish people believe in the reality of leprechauns but most people treat them as a charming piece of folklore that adds to the magic of Ireland. The leprechaun according to folklore Leprechaun sightings, while rare, occur most frequently in the vicinity of faerie forts (drumlins). Solitary by nature, leprechauns live in remote places and make shoes and brogues.

Irish verbs have two present tenses, one indicating what is occurring at this instant.

Eoin Colfer - the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. The Artemis Fowl series was written as a modern 'fairy tale' and involves Dwarfs, Fairies, and Leprechaun officers along with a tech-savvy Centaur and a 13-year-old criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl. The Fairy technology, which includes the ability to hack into Interpol, take over Closed Circuit Television, and even 'vaporize a bull elephant'. His appeal as a more knowledgeable, more science-oriented author has made many prefer his works to Rowling's more traditional fairy tales. Colfer's books are replete with complex moral issues. At one point, Artemis wishes to preserve his memories, while the Fairy's wish to 'mind wipe' him. Artemis, contemplating this issue, finally acquiesces, but plays a trick too. This kind of hidden chicanery and moral relativism is not found in any other.
DirkJan - the local union of psychology students. It then moved on to monthly publication in the student magazine of Nijmegen (Algemeen Nijmeegs Studentenblad, ANS). DirkJan became known nationaly when the then only commercial comics magazine of the Netherlands SjoSji (now defunct) started publishing the strip. With the last move, the nature of the strip changed. Most of the student side-kicks got cancelled and DirkJan left university, first for jail (DJ is a notorious leprechaun abuser) and then to wander the globe and indeed space. There are five DirkJan albums, tentatively named 'DirkJan 1' through 'Dirk-Jan 5'. The amateur comics magazine Iris (1990 - 1995) (re)published a number of DirkJan comics, some of which were refused publication in SjoSji.

Rainbow - outer color of the rainbow. The rainbow does not actually exist as a location in the sky, but is an optical illusion whose apparent position depends on the observer's location. All raindrops refract and reflect the sunlight in the same way, but only the light from some raindrops reaches the observer's eye. These raindrops are perceived to constitute the rainbow by that observer. Its position is always in the opposite direction of the sun with respect to the observer, and the interior is actually a magnified image of the sun, which can be seen to be slightly brighter than the exterior. The bow is centered on the shadow of the observer's head, appearing at an angle of approximately 40-42° to the line between the observer's head and its shadow. Sometimes, a.
Ogre - be able to change their shape at will into animals or objects, and they often dwell in marvellous palaces or castles, sometimes underground. In Scandinavian countries ogres are sometimes associated with trolls; they are considered to be masters of castles built in the mountains, keeping fabulous treasures (compare with the Irish leprechaun); this creature is considered to be either a giant (most commonly) or a dwarf. In art, ogres are depicted with a big head, abundant and hirsute hair and beard, a huge belly, and a strong body. Literature for children has plenty of tales mentioning ogres and kidnapped princesses who were rescued by valiant knights and, sometimes, peasants. Ogres are also popular in fantasy games and movies. By extension, the term ogre applies to disgusting persons with a violent temper..

Fairy tale depictions often involve riddling, dominance struggles and favors elicited. In modern usage, the word is usually used to mean goblins, hobgoblins and gnomes. Not all Finnish words for the little folk have an English equivalent, and vice versa, so confusion in the translation of these terms is quite common..
