Ghost story · 1928
The bearded boy under the Räigi stone, Karjatnurme
Habemega poisike Räigi kivi all Karjatnurmes
On the pasture of Räigi farm in Karjatnurme village, in the old Taagepera municipality, lies a large boulder. In 1928 the folklorist Eduard Treu was told that the Old Devil lived under it. He was often seen in the evenings in the shape of a small boy with an enormous beard, dressed in grey. He came up to the woman who told the story, asked 'Granny, where are you going?', and then whether she would like some gold. She did not dare to accept, she explained, because nobody knew what might come of it.

Karjatnurme külas endises Taagepera vallas on Räigi talu karjamaal suur kivi. 1928. aastal räägiti folklorist Eduard Treule, et selle kivi all elab vanatont. Teda nähti tihti õhtuti väikese poisikesena, kel oli hiiglapikk habe ja seljas hallid riided. Ta tuli loo jutustajale vastu, küsis: „Vanaema, kus sa lääd?“ ja siis, kas ta kulda ka tahab. Naine ei julgenud pakkumist vastu võtta, sest – nagu ta ütles – ega ei tea, mis sellest tulla võib.
