Erratic boulder
The red stone of Piiri forest
Piiri metsa punane raudkivi
In the pine wood below Piiri village in Muhu, a little over a kilometre from the old school, stands a red granite boulder as tall as a room, hidden among the trees. It is called Punaski and can be climbed from one side. Elderly villagers told the folklorist in the 1950s that the Devil had carried it there tangled in his beard. The children who herded cattle around it knew the story well. Nearby, Muhu tradition also places a stone Tõll tried to carry to church to stop its building.

Muhus Piiri küla all männikus, vanast koolimajast veidi üle kilomeetri, seisab puude vahel peidus toakõrgune punane raudkivi. Selle nimi on Punaski ja ühest küljest saab otsa ronida. Vanad külainimesed rääkisid 1950. aastatel rahvaluulekogujale, et Vanasaadan tõi kivi sinna oma habemekarvade sees. Lapsed, kes seal karja käisid, teadsid lugu hästi. Lähedusse paigutab Muhu pärimus ka kivi, mille Tõll tahtnud kirikusse viia, et selle ehitamist takistada.
