In the immediate vicinity of the city, between the two hills, there was a large snake from which everyone was afraid. No one attempted to confront the dreadful beast. Only some Teto armed with a bow and arrow went towards the endangered place. When he arrived there, the snake appeared and blocked the road. Teto was not afraid. He stretched out the bow, and the snake angered at high speed rushed to the pray. But Teto was fearless. When the reptile approached him, he waved his sharp and pointed sword and slashed it. In that manner, the people were released from the dangerous beast. The fear came out of them, and the passage between the two hills was free and easily passable. The place where the snake was killed with a sword and a shield, (kalkan), was called Kalkandeli, and the city, (in Turkish), - Kalkandelen. In memory of the hero Teto, on the other hand, the local population called the settlement with the name Tetovo.
