León, un niño muy curioso, se va de vacaciones a la casa de su abuela en Irlanda. Allí conoce a Seán el leprechaun, que es un duende irlandés con un cuenco mágico. Seán se va a Madrid con León y allí correrán muchas aventuras con sus amigos Witchi la gata y Eala el cisne, por ejemplo, en la batalla de la vaguada pintan los arcos de los colores del arcoíris y se lo pasan bomba.

León, a curious little boy, is on holidays in his grandmother’s house in Ireland. There he meets Seán the leprechaun, who has a crock of gold.

Seán goes to Madrid with León and meets Witchy, the cat, and Eala, the swan. Together they have many adventures, for example, The Battle of the Vaguada. Seán needs a place for his crock of gold so they paint the arches the colours of the rainbow. As well as painting them, they splash each other with the different colours and have great fun.

León’s birthday is going well until Witchi, the cat, appears with her present, a mouse. When Nana sees it, she gets such a fright she throws the birthday cake up in the air, while auntie Elisa jumps on the sofa screming. However, Seán, the leprechaun, and León’s little guests think it the best party they have ever been to.

At the end of the evening, Seán uses one of his gold coins to turn Grandad’s cane into Eala, the swan. Eala tells the children a story of how Cú Chulainn got his name and became the most famous warrior of The Red Branch Knights.
