One upon a time, there was a man who was living in
north Sumatra. He lived in a simple hut in a farming field. The did some gardening and fishing for
his daily life.
One day, while the man was do fishing,
he caught a big garden fish in his trap. It was the biggest catch which he ever
had in his life. Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess. He
felt in love with her and proposed her 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,
other wise 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 bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day, his daughter was
so hungry and she ate his father’s lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and got
furious, and shouted : “you damned daughter of a fish “. The daughter rn home
and asked her mother. The mother started crying, felt sad that her husband had broke his
promise. Then she told her daughter to run up the hills because a huge
disasdter 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 get flooded
and became toba lake. She turned into a fish again and the man became the
island of samosir.
