Legend
Kalevipoeg's pike and silver field at Avinurme
The people of Avinurme complained to Kalevipoeg that they had no fish. He tore a ten-fathom spruce out by the roots, waded into Lake Peipus and beat the water until the pike fled up the Avinurme river. Soon everyone had fish to boil. They begged him to stay, and he built a house where Avinurme manor later stood. Then he sowed his field with silver coins brought from Russia, hoping money would grow for the poor. Only weeds came up, and he left in anger. The storyteller said coins were still being found in that field, and that the place took its name from the pike, havi.

Eesti keeles
Avinurme rahvas kaebas Kalevipojale, et neil pole kala. Vägimees kiskus kümnesüllase kuuse juurtega maast, astus Peipsisse ja peksis vett, kuni havid Avinurme jõkke põgenesid. Peagi oli igal perel kala pajas. Rahvas palus teda jääma ja ta ehitas elumaja sinna, kus hiljem seisis Avinurme mõis. Siis külvas ta põllu täis Venemaalt toodud hõberaha, lootes, et vaestele kasvab raha. Tärkas aga ainult umbrohi ja vihane vägimees lahkus. Jutustaja sõnul on sellelt põllult leitud hõberahasid tänini ning koht sai nime jõkke aetud havide järgi.
