Janne šokolaadipaberid: February 2016

Suur Tõll oli vapper Saaremaa vägilane, kes valitses iidsetel aegadel sitke saarerahva üle. Tõll armastas väga metspähkleid ning käis neid sügiseti Abruka saarel varumas. Ühel rajusel päeval pähkliretkelt naastes, märkas ta meres tormilainete poolt kummuli paisatud kaluripaati. Tõll ruttas kohe appi. Ta tõstis paadi veest, noppis mehed koos kraamiga merest ning kandis randa. Päästetud mehed said Tõllult kosutuseks kotitäie pähkleid. Sellest ajast saati kuuluvad metspähklid saarlaste lemmikmaiuste hulka.

Suur Tõll (Toell the Great) was a brave giant hero in Saaremaa, who during ancient times ruled over the rugged island people. He loved hazelnuts and every autumn he would travel to the island of Abruka to stock up. One stormy day, on his way back from his trip to the island, he noticed a battered fishing boat, which had been tipped over by storm waves. Toell rushed to help. He lifted the boat from the water, picked the men and their belongings from the sea and carried them to the shore. The rescued men showed their gratitude by offering Toell a large bag of nuts. From then on, hazelnuts have been one of the favourite treats among the people of Saaremaa.
