A flash fiction story written by me:

The leprechaun bent over the fine fairy boot. Repairing them was always ticklish - the sidhe imbued their footwear with such strange spells, and didn't care how much they wore them out with dancing. Hard to repair without shredding the enchantment, but was there a better way to earn a pot of gold?

W. B. Yeats said one big source of leprechaun wealth is that they are paid by fairies to repair their shoes, and the fairies constantly wear out their shoes with dancing. Furthermore, leprechauns have dug up numerous pots of gold buried by humans long ago during times of war.

In Scottish folklore, selkies are intelligent seals who often become fascinated by human life. They can remove their seal skins to temporarily become beautiful men and women, and will have romances with the local humans. However, eventually all selkies return to the ocean.

The earliest known reference to the modern Tooth Fairy is a 1908 "Household Hints" article in the Chicago Daily Tribune by Lillian Brown. It states that "many a refractory child will allow a loose tooth to be removed if he knows about the Tooth Fairy. If he takes his little tooth and puts it under the pillow when he goes to bed, the Tooth Fairy will come in the night and take it away, and in its place will leave some little gift."
