Läänemaa · Estonia · Site of legend

The workers' curses summoned the devil in green-and-blue trousers, he helped, but could never count the logs right.

When a hay barn was being built in Ormsö, the workers' cursing summoned the devil, who appeared in wide trousers with one leg green and the other blue. He sighed that the Ormsö farmers' oaths were his daily fare, yet still helped with the work, especially while the carpenters slept. Whenever he tried to count the logs he always miscounted, stubbornly calling them barley-sheaves.
