Saula Blue Springs
Beside the Pirita river at Saula, three springs well up from the ground: the largest, called the Offering Spring, is up to four metres deep with greenish-blue water, the second paler, the third dark and muddy. Their water was thought to heal, and people have left offerings here for a very long time. A note recorded in 1935 says the Blue Spring was the home of the overlord of all nixies. Many who came with a bottle for water to cure sore eyes saw him, and had to throw in a coin or other metal; people called him Siniallikatölp, for he carried a stick and wore a blue coat.

Eesti keeles
Saulas Pirita jõe ääres keeb maapõuest üles kolm allikat: suurim, Ohvriallikas, on kuni nelja meetri sügavune rohekassinise veega, teine heledam ja kolmas mudase põhjaga tume. Vett peeti tervendavaks ning ohvriande on siia toodud väga kaua. 1935. aastal kirja pandud teate järgi elas Siniallikas kõigi näkkide ülemvalitseja. Teda nägid paljud, kes tulid pudeliga haigetele silmadele vett tooma ning pidid allikasse raha või muud metalli viskama; rahvas kutsus teda Siniallikatölbiks, sest tal oli kepp käes ja sinine tölpkuub seljas.
