Water in the Sieve of Strömfors

Nyland · Finland · Site of legend

The dark one demanded a girl, but could not even carry water in a sieve for her.

In Strömfors the dark one came to a girl washing potatoes and demanded her hand. She pledged herself only if he could carry water in a sieve, but however fast he ran from the well, the sieve ran dry. Then the girl took the sieve herself, sprinkled a little flour on the bottom so the water held, and the shamed devil left her in peace.
