The stone at Kandla in Kärla
Kandla kivi Kärlas
A stone in Kandla village in Kärla parish was explained in 1939 by a storyteller from Kaarma parish. The Evil One, in a rage, set out to destroy a whole village with it. But when he reached the field of Kandla manor his strength suddenly gave out and the stone fell from his grasp. There was nothing he could do but leave it lying and run away. Elsewhere in Kärla people said the Devil had carried stones in his apron to block the church door until a rooster's crow made the strings snap.

Kärla kihelkonnas Kandla külas oleva kivi saamist seletas 1939. aastal üks Kaarma kihelkonnast pärit jutustaja. Vanakuri tahtnud vihaga terve küla sellega puruks lüüa. Kui ta aga jõudis Kandla mõisa põllule, rauges äkki tema jõud ja kivi kukkus käest. Kurjal ei jäänud muud üle, kui kivi sinna jätta ja ise põgeneda. Mujal Kärlas räägiti, et Vanakurat kandis põlles kive kiriku ukse taha, kuni kukelaul pani paelad katkema.
