Legend
The goats of Limu who went to complain
Limu kitsed
Limu, a village near Jüri first written down in 1241, was long nicknamed Kitseküla, Goat Village. A tale recorded in 1938 explains why: Limu was once so poor that nobody could afford cows, only goats. The master of Rautsepa farm brought home a goat from Toompea in Tallinn, and since life in town had clearly been better, the goat gathered up all the other goats of Limu and led them off to Toompea. Ever after, neighbours joked that the Limu goats had gone to Toompea to complain about how hard life was in the country.

Jüri lähedal asuvat Limu küla, mida on esmamainitud 1241. aastal, kutsuti rahvasuus kaua Kitsekülaks. 1938. aastal kirja pandud jutt seletab, miks: Limu olnud kunagi nii vaene, et lehmi ei jõutud pidada, ainult kitsi. Rautsepa talu peremees tõi Toompealt koju ühe kitse ja kuna linnas oli elu ilmselgelt parem olnud, kogus see kits kõik Limu kitsed kokku ja viis nad Toompeale. Sestpeale narriti, et Limu kitsed käisid Toompeal kaebamas, kui raske on maal elada.
