Erratic boulder
The apron stone and springs of Rinsi
Rinsi põllekivi ja allikad
Near Rätsepa house in Rinsi village on Muhu lies a stone linked to Suur Tõll's wife. Muhu people said she wanted to carry it to the church at Easter, but her apron straps broke and it fell on her toes. She cried with pain, and her tears became springs that still well up nearby. The story is one of dozens across Saaremaa and Muhu in which Tõll's wife, often called Piret, drops a stone and floods the land with her tears.

Muhus Rinsi külas Rätsepa maja lähedal lebab kivi, mida seostatakse Suure Tõllu naisega. Muhulased rääkisid, et ta tahtnud selle lihavõtte ajal kiriku juurde viia, kuid põllepaelad katkesid ja kivi kukkus talle varvastele. Ta nuttis valu pärast ja tema pisaratest said allikad, mis seal lähedal praegugi keevad. Lugu on üks kümnetest Saaremaal ja Muhus, kus Tõllu naine, keda sageli Piretiks kutsutakse, kivi maha pillab ja maa oma pisaratega üle ujutab.
