A leprechaun for Gabe

It's St. Patty's day and the kids in Gabe's class had
an important project to complete. Gabe failed to catch a leprechaun last
year, but he's very determined that this year's trap will be a success.
It's a two stage trap. The first stage has a spring-loaded door with a
bunch of shiny pennies tempting the little green guy into the trap. Once
inside, he'll fall through a hole into a nice little home Gabe created
for him. Bright and early, Gabe is ready to check the trap. Unfortunately
a very thorough check of every corner of the trap fails to uncover his
whereabouts.
Realization of another failure to catch a leprechaun
this year sinks in slowly, and then quickly turns into rage and the total
destruction of the trap. I might be exaggerating a little.
If we can't catch a leprechaun, at least we can dress
up the dog. Oh the inhumanity.
