Legend
Tondijaagu hill on Vilsandi
Tondijaagu mägi Vilsandil
A story told on Vilsandi in 1958 names the island's first settler as old Jaak, a fisherman. One day the Devil turned up and offered to help with the fishing. Jaak saw who he was dealing with and tried to send him back into the sea, and the two wrestled for a long time on the highest point of the island, which is why there is a hollow on Tondijaagu hill. In the end Jaak pushed the Devil into the sea. Since then, the teller said, Vilsandi folk never quarrel: if they must go to court, they share one horse and cart and go as friends.

1958. aastal Vilsandil jutustatud loo järgi oli saare esimene elanik vana kalur Jaak. Ühel päeval ilmunud Vanakuri ja pakkunud end kalapüügil abiks. Jaak taipas, kellega tegemist, ja tahtis teda merre tagasi saata ning nad maadlesid kaua saare kõrgeimal kohal, mistõttu Tondijaagu mäel on lohk. Lõpuks tõukas Jaak Vanakurja merre. Sellest ajast, ütles jutustaja, ei tülitse vilsandlased kunagi: kui kohtusse minna tuleb, sõidavad nad ühe hobuse ja vankriga sõpradena.
