THE STORY OF TOBA LAKE.
Once upon a time, there was a man who was living in north Sumatra.
He lived in a simple hut in a farming field.
He did some gardening and fishing for his daily life.
One day, while the man was fishing, he caught a big golden fish in his
trap. It was the biggest catch he ever had in his life.
Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess.
He fell in love with her and proposed to be his wife.
She said; "Yes, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about the
secret that I was once a fish, otherwise there will be a huge disaster".
The man made the deal and they got married, lived happily and had a
daughter.
Few years later, this daughter would help to bring lunch to her father
out in the fields.
One day, his daughter was so hungry that she ate his father's lunch.
Unfortunately, he found out and got furious, and shouted; "You
damned daughter of a fish".
The daughter ran home and asked her mother. The mother started
crying, feeling sad that her husband had broken his promise.
Then she told her daughter to run up the hills because a huge disaster
was about to come. When her daughter left, she prayed.
Soon there was a big earthquake followed by non-stop pouring rain.
The whole area got flooded and became Toba Lake.
She turned into a fish again and the man became the island of Samosir.
