Suzanne walked briskly through the park. She was taking a shortcut to the mall because she needed a new pair of shoes, and not just any pair! As a top career girl in her 20s she had to have the latest fashion, and that was why she was in so much of a hurry.
"OW! Whatch where yer going yer big-footed eejit!" came an accented voice as Suzanne accidently trod on someone's toes. Suzanne turned to see an elderly red-haired miget, about 3 foot tall and dressed in a green frock coat and tricorn hat and smoking a pipe. "I am not a bigfooted idiot!" she snapped without any sort of apology "I have peteit size 8 feet that need a new pair of shoes, and have a sucessful career."
"Well I have a sucsessful career too, lassie!" said the little person "Cornelius is the name, and I am a leprechaun by trade, come to visit freinds over the water. Despite your rudeness I am prepared to offer you a deal. Us leprechauns are renound shoemakers and for a small fee I can rustle up a pair for you by tomorrow."
"I don't want or need a pair of shoddy home-made shoes!" replied Suzanne testily as she walked off "Only the best will do for me. Oh and take that silly outfit off, St Patrick's day was months ago!"
Cornelius was livid. "First she steps on me foot, then she insults me and my work! Well if I say she's big-footed, big feet is what she will have!" He cast a spell over Suzanne, who was in too much of a huff to notice. Not yet, anyway.
