We’re Hunting Leprechauns…
“Now?” whined Giselle as she leaned back on the settee and
pulled her ever-present beret down over her pretty face.
“Not yet,” stated Madame Le Tron.
“When then,” replied Giselle.
“I will be on this site for no more than another half hour
Giselle,” said Madame. “Is it homework that you need to do?”
“No,” pouted Giselle getting to her feet and then
immediately falling to the floor with a resounding, “Ouch!”
“Mon Cheri, are you all right,” cried Madame Le Tron rising
from the computer screen to rush to her aid.
“Oui Madame, I tripped over this floor board.” “Snap-Clap” went a trap! “OH NO RATS,” screeched
Giselle as she jumped upon the settee from whence she came!
“Oh Mon Dieu, les rats,” shrieked Madame as she jumped upon the settee next to
Giselle, the two holding one another tightly!
Giselle whispered to Madame holding a finger up to her lips,
“Do you hear that Madame?”
“Qu’est-ce,” mouthed Madame Le Tron.
From a distance came the sound of a slot machine
“Cha-Chinging,” with bells and whistles ringing and the whir of a recyle-ton’s
wheel.
Giselle and Madame turned to one another and exclaimed,
“It’s Jack-Pot-Johnny!”
No sooner had his name left their lips then Jack-Pot-Johnny,
the robot, rolled into the room. He had a net on a stick in one wrenched hand
and what looked to be a treasure map in the other.
Bending on jointed hips, he glared with his electric eye
into the hole beneath the up- turned floorboard and pulled out an empty trap,
which appeared to be bated with gold. Johnny sighed with a “PHOOEY!”
Madame regarded Giselle and said, “Did he just sigh and say,
‘PHOOEY’?”
“Qui Madame,” answered Giselle nodding her pretty blond
head.
“Jack-Pot-Johnny explain yourself,” demanded Madame Le Tron.
The robot, quiet now and appearing a bit disheartened,
thrust the paper in Madame’s direction. “C’est Vrai, it is a treasure map of
sorts,” she said.
Giselle, looking over Madame’s shoulder and reading the
words at the top of the map aloud, “Shhhhh, be very, very quiet I’m hunting
LEPRECHAUNS!” Giselle began to giggle, “Really Jack?”
The robot blinked his lights twice.
“It will take the ‘Luck O’ the Irish’ to catch a Leprechaun,
if it is anywhere near as hard as it is to make an Etsy Treasury about them,”
proclaimed Madame Le Tron!
“Is that what you have been working on all morning Madame?”
asked Giselle a slight smile upon her face.
“Oui, Mademoiselle,” sniffed Madame Letron as she pushed her
dark glasses up on her narrow nose.
Giselle leaped from the settee and made for the computer,
pushing her beret to the back of her head. With a click of the keys paper began
to spew forth from the copier.
Jack-Pot-Johnny whirled on his wheel and pulled the paper
from the machine. No sooner has his
electric eye scanned the page then he began to “Cha-Ching”!
Taking the paper from the robot, Madame read the title
aloud, “Simple How To Build an Etsy Treasury - by Giselle Montiner.”
“We are studying On-line
Marketing and Sales in Economics. That’s my end-of-chapter homework and
I’ve been trying all morning to get on the computer to find out what grade I
got,” Giselle announced.
“A+,” beamed a proud Madame Le Tron as she waved the paper
high! “Merci Giselle! This will make my
work so much easier!”
“We’re all in this together, right? Now, let’s see if we can’t find a LEPRECHAUN
Johnny,” a delighted Giselle rang out!
“Cha-Ching,” chimed Jack-Pot-Johnny as they exited the room.
“The ‘Luck O’ the Irish’ to you both,” mused Madame Le Tron
as she returned to her computer screen.

the desired item which will bring you to that item’s Purchasing Page.
5.
In the column to the right, under “Add to Cart”
you will see the title “Item” click on Add item
to treasury. You
can add up to 16 items but you do not have to use all sixteen slots.
6.

an edit/remove button will appear at
the top of the item.

best way to get found.

box and to the right, under Privacy, click on
Everyone! This does three things…
-

-
Informs the people in your Treasury that you
have featured them.
-
Gives you the opportunity to be featured on Etsy’s
main page if the moderators choose!
We hope you have found Giselle’s homework helpful! Let us know by listing your Treasury’s URL in
