Once there lived
a farmer named Pihvik in his little house and he earned money by making music.
The man was a busker and he played his guitar from dusk to dawn. He loved his
instrument and he considered it to be his best friend because he didn’t have any
other friends.
One day a giant
Peipsi came to the town. He saw the farmer and started listening to his music. The Giant hadn’t heard anyhing
about guitar ever before and he wanted
to own such a beautifully sounding instrument as well. Because Peips was so
big, he had to make his own guitar. He harvested most of the forest and used its
timber to make an instrument. The Giant had no experience and the guitar didn’t turn out well. He used the
trees that he had taken down to build a home in the same town which Peipsi had
become really fond of.
When the house
was ready, the Giant invited Pihvik to his new home. The farmer gladly visited
him and he took his guitar with him. He played the guitar to Peipsi, but
suddenly the Giant grabbed the instrument and ran away. He went to an old wise man
and asked him to make that guitar bigger. The old man did as he was told. When the Giant had reached home, he noticed
his house was gone. The man understood that the timber he had used for his
house, was now in his guitar. Peips got really angry because he loved his home and he hit a
gigantic hole into the gorund which had a guitar shape.
The old wise man
had been really smart because he realized the guitar the Giant had brough him
was stolen and as for a punishment he turned the man’s house into a guitar. He
returned the small guitar to the farmer and so he could live on his regular
life and it made him happy again. Peips ran away from the town in great anger
and nver returned. The guitar-shaped hole
got filled with rain water. People started to call the bigger part of it
Lake Peipsi and the smaller part Lake Pihkva. So this is how the lakes were
created.
