A CLUE TO LUCKY'S SECRET?
Thursday, January 19, 2006 — All of Millsberry is on the trail of Lucky the Leprechaun's four-leaf clovers! The elusive leprechaun has been spotted all over town, leaving four-leaf clovers wherever he goes, but his reason for being in Millsberry continues to remain a secret. Rumors have been flying about Lucky all week, and the Gazette just may have found a clue that will help to solve this mystery.
"I saw Lucky at Tricks, Toys & Games the other day, and he gave me a prize," Joseph Kidson, of Golden Valley, told the Gazette. "When he left, I noticed that Lucky had dropped something. It looked like a few marshmallow charms, but there were also some berries mixed in there too. After scooping them up, I tried to follow Lucky to see where he was going. When I spotted him again, he was carrying what seemed to be a few boxes of cereal. He hurried away before I could get a good look at what was written on the boxes, though."
Is there a link between these mysterious berries and Lucky's recent visits to Berry Mountain? The Gazette was unable to obtain a comment from Lucky himself, so his story will have to remain a secret for now.
Another development in this story was also discovered earlier in the week when reports surfaced that Lucky was giving those who had spotted him five times an extra-special bonus prize! There's been no word yet on what the special prize is, but citizens are encouraged to be on the lookout for four-leaf clovers more than ever, because if you find one, Lucky is usually not far behind!
