Once upon a time, there lived a young farmer on fertile land in North Sumatera
named Toba. He lived on a valley, with a river nearby.
One day, he felt like eating fish so he went fishing at the river. He had finished for a
long time, but he didn’t catch any fish. Therefore, he decided to return home. However,
suddenly his hook caught at a big fish. The fish begged him to set it free. Toba was very
surprised knowing that the fish could talk.
Toba agreed to fish’s demand. He return the fish to the river, but suddenly the fish
changed into a beuatiful young woman. She thanked Toba and was willing to be Toba’s wife,
to show her gratitude. “Toba, I am willing to be your wife. However, you should keep the
secret that I was once a fish. You should not tell anyone about it,”said the fish.
“O.K.,I‘ll keep my promise,”agreed Toba.
Not long after, they got married and the woman delivered a baby boy named Samosir.
Toba and his wife were very happy. They gave Samosir whatever he wanted, so he became
spoilt. He also grew up with a great appetite. He ate all the food on the table.
One day, Toba worked at his rise field. His wife cooked and told Samosir,”Sam, take
this food to your father. In a hurry, please. It is lunch time and he will be waiting for you.”
“Yes, mom,”answered Sam.
On the way to the rice field, Sam was tempted and ate all the food,then continued his
walk to the rice field. On his arrival at the field, his father had been waiting for him. He was
very hungry and grabbed the food container. However, he was very disappointed to see the
food container empty. He was very angry when his son admitted that hed been eaten all the
food.
“How could you eat all the food? Ugh...You are the real son of a fish,”said Toba
angrily. Sam cried and returned home. Arriving home, he told his mother about what had
happened. “Mom, Dad told me that I am a fish’s son. Is that true?” asked Sam.
The woman was very surprised and angry. She didn’t think that her husband would
break his promise.
“My dear son, don’t think too much about it. Now please go to the top of the hill and
climb the tallest tree. A bad occurrence will happen here,”said his mother.
Sam did what his mother ordered. He went to a hill and climbed the tallest tree. In her
house, the woman cried bitterly. Then she decided to leave home. She hurriedly went to the
river where she met her husband initially, then disappeared.
Suddenly, the sky turned black. Thunder roared and lightning flashed amongst the
clouds and heavy rain fell onto the land. The rain continuosly heavy. The land began to flood
turned into a lake.
Since then, people named the lake Toba. Meanwhile, the hill became an island in the
