The Devil's bagpipe stone at Kaavi
Vanapagana torupillikivi Kaavil
In the Riiu hay meadow of Kaavi village in Sõrve lies a big stone about which old people had much to tell. The Devil liked to sit on it and play the bagpipes, always the same jingling little tune, and the hollow where he sat and the prints of his heels could still be seen in the rock. The stone was so large that a farmer once used it as one wall of his hay barn. The barn has long since fallen apart, but the stone, it was said in 1939, still stood in the meadow unchanged.

Sõrves Kaavi küla nn Riiu heinamaal lebab suur kivi, millest vanad inimesed teadsid palju rääkida. Vanapagan armastanud selle otsas istuda ja torupilli mängida, ikka üht ja sama lõbusat lugu, ning tema istmease ja kannajäljed olid kivis veel näha. Kivi oli nii suur, et üks talumees kasutas seda oma heinaküüni seinana. Küün on ammu lagunenud, kuid kivi seisis 1939. aasta ülestähenduse järgi ikka endisel kujul heinamaal.
