Legend
The treasure pit of Velise
Velise rahaauk
A treasure tale from Velise was printed by M. J. Eisen. The master of Nurga farm was told in a dream that a money pit lay in the spruce hedge near Velise manor. He was to fetch it on a Thursday night before the first cockcrow and must not look back, whatever happened behind him. Being timid, he took his farmhand along; when the ground began to crack and groan at the spot, both ran and lost the treasure. Tärda Ott heard the story, went the next Thursday alone, ignored the dreadful noises behind him and carried the money home unharmed.

Velise aardeloo avaldas M. J. Eisen. Nurga peremehele näidati unes, et Velise mõisa lähedal kuuseaia sees on rahaauk. Ta pidi selle tooma neljapäeva öösel enne esimest kukelaulu ega tohtinud tagasi vaadata, ükskõik mis selja taga juhtub. Arglik mees võttis sulase kaasa; kui maa kohale jõudes ragisema ja praksuma hakkas, jooksid mõlemad minema ja jäid rahast ilma. Tärda Ott kuulis lugu, läks järgmisel neljapäeval üksi, ei teinud selja taga kostvatest koledatest häältest välja ja tõi raha õnnelikult koju.
