Leprechaun Trap
By: Makayla Forsberg
How This Trap Works
The first step for the leprechaun to get trapped is for it to run up the incline plane, latch itself to the pulley to be lifted up for there is no other way to get around it. Next, the pulley will swing the leprechaun up and over the pulley pole, and on to the ground. The leprechaun will then see the pot of gold and runs over to it, and dives in. At the bottom of the "Pot of Gold", there is a hole, and the leprechaun will get trapped in that hole.
