There was a poor man and his horses were very skinny. He didn't have fodder enough to feed them. And he once said that he wish he'd have a Tranelis. And after that he looked at horses one morning, and they were full. And after that horses were fattening day after day. And he said:

— I would like to see who feeds them.

But he was unable to see who feeds them at first. And one clear night his work-hand hid himself at pigsty where through the peephole he could see everything. And when everything went quiet two tiny men entered the stables. They were Traneliai. They took straws from the floor and brought them to horses until they were fed up. And when they finished they disappeared. And so they were ragged that seemed that they barely had clothes on them.

Then this man returned to his master and told them about it. They called a needlewoman to sew them clothes which fit them according to story of a workman. And mistress knitted leggins for them. Having been made the cloth were laid in the corner of pigsty from where they usually appeared. When family laid the presents, they hid themselves to see what will happen. When everything went quiet, appeared Traneliai. But seeing cloth they went weeping and crying:

— We were paid, so now we must leave!

They were weeping for sometime and suddenly disappeared. They never came back.
