The burning treasure of Hallipäidsu

Hallipäidsu rehe raha-auk

Near the Hallipäidsu threshing barn of Uue-Virtsu manor in Hanila there is a small mound, and under it, people said, lay a money pit that used to burn with a treasure fire; later it was seen less often. A tale printed by M. J. Eisen tells of old Jaagu, a brave man, who went there on a Thursday evening with a spade over his shoulder. When he began scattering the glowing coals, a small red dog rushed at him with a terrible clatter, again and again, until he gave up and walked home. Others tried their luck too, and the treasure was said to be waiting still.

Hanilas Uue-Virtsu mõisa Hallipäidsu rehe lähedal on väike küngas ja selle all olevat raha-auk, mis vanasti alati põles; hiljem nähti seda harvemini. M. J. Eiseni avaldatud lugu jutustab julgest vanast Jaagu taadist, kes läks neljapäeva õhtul labidas õlal sinna. Kui ta hakkas hõõguvaid süsi laiali loopima, tormas suure raginaga tema poole väike punane koer, ikka ja jälle, kuni ta loobus ja koju läks. Teisedki käisid õnne katsumas ja aare ootavat ülesvõtjat praegugi.
