hi, my names jack. jack spratt to be specific. and before you ask, no i can't eat fat. sort of a tic. any way, i'm a leprechaun. a good old fashioned one too. none o' that wee folk business. shape-shiftin', makin' infernal deals, hordin' gold, drinkin' my brains out, etc, etc. we~ell, after a couple hun'red thousand years of tormenting humans, i got bored. then ponies. smart ones. a couple thousand years later, and they had set up a pretty nice so-ci-ety. after scammin' the whole a Ireland, i decided to take a small, hundred year vacation in equestria.

that was mistake number one.
