You quickly back away from the Leprechaun, staring in horror and disbelief. The Leprechaun picks up his cherished gold pieces, watching you at the same time. He smiles with a devilish grin.
"Now, what shall I do with you, you little thief?" he remarked aloud.
"Please, I didn't know the gold belonged to anyone. I...I didn't mean to. You can have it all back, just please let me go," you reply, begging for mercy.
"I can't do that. You have to be punished for trying to steal my gold..." said the Leprechaun. "I've got it."
Suddenly, you start to itch all over. You scratch furiously, mind reeling trying to figure out what the little man in green has done to you. You pause, staring in horror and coarse gray and black hairs start growing over your body.
"Wha...what's happening to me?" you exclaim.
"You'll see," he replies as he continues to pick up his spilled gold as he watches you transform.
You cry out as pain radiates through your body. You watch your hands curl into fists and then reform into hard hooves. Your sneakers tear away as the same thing happens to your feet. Your chest barrels out, ripping your t-shirt to shreds and your pants are similarly destroyed by your changing hips and legs.
"Please...somebody...help meeeeHAWWW" you cry out as your face pushes out into a donkey snout and you fall to all fours, a new donkey.
"My, you've really made an ass out of yourself," remarks the Leprechaun, laughing hysterically as he walks back to his lair, gold in hand.
