Narrative
In 2010 in Kabile, a tale was recorded: the Devil was bolting away from the church through the cemetery and left his footprint on the stone. In folkloric repository one can find a tale with a different plot: the Devil stepped on the stone and threw a sausage. Thus a footprint was left on the stone. On the spot where the sausage dropped down, a pond in the shape of a sausage appeared. The foot stone is interesting both due to its location in the cemetery and various tales related to it.
