- Number one is a woman that has never felt beautiful before. She has never caught the eye of a man and had him smile, never had a soul tell her that she is beautiful. Now, this woman, as one might imagine, wishes to be the most attractive person in the world.

- Number four is a rather nerdy young man that has been picked on all of his life. He has no friends and has a great animosity towards the world. He wishes to be the most powerful person in the world.
- Number five is a young woman that nobody seems to notice. She is quiet and shy, and is of average height, of average looks, and with average IQ. There is nothing spectacular about her. She wishes to be the most famous person in the world.
- Number six is a young man that has been very down on life. His path has been riddled with lost loves, lost friends, and addictions and hardships. His life is a constant roller coaster rides of ups and downs. He wishes to be the happiest person in the world.
- Number seven is a a young woman that has never been able to find love, try as she might. She has made several attempts at talking to members of the opposite sex, but to no avail. She wishes to be the most loved person in the world.
Number 1 is granted her wish, and is instantly transformed into the most attractive person in the world. Her looks are of unimportance, as to any individual that looks at her, she is beauty defined. Leprechauns do not go back on their promises. However, she forgot to read the fine print. At first, she thrives with her newfound beauty, and watches as heads turn everywhere she goes. Every day numerous men throw themselves at her, and she soaks it up in joy. Soon, she falls in love with one of them, and they plan to get married. They stay married for about a year before things start to go downhill. All the while, men still throw themselves at her left and right, telling her to leave her husband. They go to extreme lengths, and are treacherous and lying. Her husband seems to be getting more and more distant, and when she confronts him to ask what is wrong, he confesses everything. "I have never been good enough for you! There are so many more attractive people in the world than me, you belong with one of them! I feel like nothing around you." She is speechless as her husband walks out the door, leaving her. He soon dies of depression, and she later dies of a broken heart.
Number 2 is granted his wish, and is soon rolling around in money. He soon buys a mansion with 500 acres of land, and every possession he and his family has ever wished for. He buys his friends and family presents and donates to charity organizations. He feels great and wonders how he got so lucky. What he realizes, however, is that he has been cursed. Soon, the money gets old. He has to work for nothing, do nothing. He runs out of things to buy, and soon his friends start leaving him as the money has corrupted his personality. He watches as his wife takes his kids and leaves him, and he finds himself alone. He soon realizes that he had everything he could ever wish for before he had met the leprechaun, and would do anything to get it back.
Number 3 is granted her wish, and becomes the smartest individual in the world. She can read a novel in record speed and retain information as if it was nothing. She makes her way through all of the books in the world, and soon finishes them. She then moves on to other fields of science, math, and technology. She flies through every part of every subject until she knows everything there is to know that has been discovered, so she begins to conduct her own research. She soon finds the answer to life, and the answer to everything. Eventually, there is nothing left to discover. Many of her discoveries have been troubling, and she dislikes many of the things that she has discovered about the world. On top of that, the world has shunned her for her wisdom, labeling her as an outcast. She soon slips into a state of madness and loses the one thing that she treasured most: her mind.
Number 4 is granted his wish and becomes the most powerful person in the world. He begins to make changes for the better of the world, and starts by combatting world hunger. Soon, the whole world is fed, and he is rather happy with himself. Next, he combats war, abuse, crimes, and many other things. However, he soon runs into a problem: he lacks the resources to carry out his plans. Soon, he orders people to give him money. He slowly begins draining the resources around him, taking people's money, and people begin turning on him. Soon, assassination attemps begin. He manages to survive them, but his friends abandon him to avoid the danger. He decides to combat the assassination attempts by executing all suspects. Soon, his family leaves him as they realize the monster that he has become. Things continue to go downhill, and soon, he finds himself completely alone and despised, and realizes that he has become the very bullies he loathed so much.
Number 5 is granted her wish, and soon becomes the most famous person in the world. She is the hippest, hottest thing. Her face is over magazines everywhere, and there isn't a soul who doesn't know who she is. She gets to meet all of her idols, only to find that she is their idol. She gets invited to fancy parties, movie screenings, and tv show filmings. Soon enough, however, things start to go downhill. Her family accuses her of abandoning them as she hasn't seen them since her fame. She decides to visit them, and the paparazzi follow her. Her family renounces her, and tells her to leave. She is heartbroken. She goes to her best friend, only to find that she has lost her as well. None of her old friends want anything to do to her, as they accuse her of being snobby and over-rated. Like most celebrities, she is stalked by the paparazzi and can't get any privacy. She soon breaks down and falls into a cycle of drug and alcohol addiction, which is soon all over the news. She begins to develop anger issues and becomes agoraphobic. People soon begin to hate her, and she remains the most famous person in the world, and one day she realizes that she is the opposite of what she wanted to be: the most hated person in the world.
Number 6 is granted his wish to be the happiest person in the world. He soon feels a wild elation fill him, and he beings to make amends with the friends he had once alienated. His bright personality gets him even more friends, and soon everyone knows him as the "happy man". He is wildly popular, and gets invited everywhere so people can soak up his happiness. Sure enough, though, his happiness begins to go downhill. Due to his overly optimistic nature, he begins to take nothing seriously, and eventually gets behind the wheel drunk. He crashes and, while he survives, 3 of the 4 friends he had with him die in the crash. However, he is still wildly happy. He shows up to their funeral wearing bright yellow, smiling and joking all the while. People begin to shun him for this, accusing him of purposefully killing his friends. He gets thrown in jail for manslaughter, and can't seem to stop smiling about it. He finds himself wishing for a different emotion, as he just can't remember what anger, jealousy or depression feels like. He was last reported diving off a cliff into the sea, laughing the whole time.
Number 7 is granted her wish of being the most loved person in the world. When she wakes up the next day, she finds her phone filled with texts from various boys, and her email flooded with love letters. When she opens her door to leave in the morning, she finds a group of boys and men alike standing there gazing at her. She steps on something as she leaves the house and realizes that a pile of love letters has been placed on her front steps. Later that day, she finally pursues the one guy that she has always loved. They begin dating and plan to be married, but her other lovers aren't very happy with this. Eventually, her true love goes missing and his body is found a week later. Ridden with grief, she locks herself in her house, only to find a few men already lurking in it. She begins getting restraining orders on some of these men, but they are only replaced by others, and soon, the police department begins ignorning her altogether. One day, she goes into her house and never comes out again. No one really ever knew what happened to her. Some assume she died of a broken heart, and others assume of of her "lovers" committed a "romantic" act of murder-suicide.
While these endings may seem horrid, one cannot really blame the Leprechaun. Human nature is often corrupt, and he was only doing his job. The people are not to blame, either, though, as they are, in part, in all of us. There was one question that would have yielded a favorable result, but none of the 7 people thought to ask it. Can you figure it out?
Aaaaaaaaaaand the moral of the story is... Don't capture a Leprechaun. Just don't..
