Great beginning. This seems as if it's going to be a story about magical things and leaves me wanting much more. I want to know what Alice's sister is going to say next and what will Alice say and do about the leprechaun and the pot of gold? How much gold is there? Really a Great way to start a story.

What a great story. And perfectly believable. I didn't find any glitches and have no suggestions for improvement. Best of luck in the Sentence writing contest.

What a creative take on the contest. I certainly didn't expect the pot of gold and the leprechaun. What a happy surprise for the sisters. The cozy little cottage just got even cozier. Unless the leprechaun is the typical trickster his kind is known for. Hehehe.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thanks for the review. I try to write at least one thing a day. Someone said to elaborate more, but I thought it was fun just to plant the scenario.

Hi there,

I would have loved to have seen this developed a bit more. Some more suspense and drawing the plot out more. There's no word limit on the competition.

full~time free spirit and part time writer.- might be better to hyphenate part-time as you do with full-time.

On his feet were sturdy black shoes with shiny buckles. He stood proudly beside a black cauldron filled with shiny gold coins. - I would suggest maybe using gleaming or polished for buckle to avoid the repetition of shiny.

"Here you go Missy. My word is my bond. One pot of gold for you catching me unawares! - need closing speech marks here.

I really enjoyed reading this fantastical story of leprechauns, fairy woods, and buckets of gold. It is a wonderful entry for this prompt!! Well written.
