Legend
The hills of Pao near Pöide church
Pao künkad Pöide kiriku lähedal
In the Pao forest near Pöide church there are round hills about three metres high, some with names such as Rebastemägi, Naistemägi and Varestemägi. A storyteller from Tumala village explained them as the work of the Devil: he hurled huge stones at Suur Tõll and his helper but kept missing, and the rocks fell into the forest, where moss and soil slowly covered them until they became hills. East of the church, on the way to Uuemõisa, the Veskisaadu hills were said to mark where Tõll and his helper tossed a hammer back and forth.

Pöide kiriku lähedal Pao metsas on umbes kolme meetri kõrgused ümarad künkad, millest mõnel on nimi, nagu Rebastemägi, Naistemägi ja Varestemägi. Üks Tumala küla jutustaja seletas neid Vanapagana tööna: too loopinud suuri kive Suure Tõllu ja tema abilise pihta, kuid ei tabanud, ning kivid kukkusid metsa, kus sammal ja muld need aegamööda kinni katsid, kuni neist said künkad. Kirikust ida pool Uuemõisa poole olevat Veskisaadu mäed aga tekkinud sealt, kus Tõll ja tema abiline teineteisele haamrit viskasid.
