Lake toba

Toba and Parlin live in the interior of the northern part of Sumatra Island. They live from farming and fishing in the river. That day Toba decided to catch fish. In spirits, Toba spreads the net into the river. After waiting some time, Toba pulled the net. Oh ... a big fish, very beautiful gold, trapped there. Toba is very excited. Carefully Toba grabbed the fish as he put it in the container. How wonderful, you fish. I will take care of you, Toba speaks for himself. After packing Toba finally came home.

Arrive at the fish house was moved to a larger container then put it in a safe place. The next morning Toba worked as usual. The orphan boy is very diligent. The harvest of this time is very good, the fruit of perseverance. After harvesting rice, Toba felt tired and hungry. He went home for lunch. When it was inside Toba's house, very surprised. Side dishes have been served on a bamboo table. The aroma of the dishes is so fragrant. Not yet lost in wonder, Toba saw a woman kneeling near the fireplace. She was very beautiful. His long, long, jet-black hair was unraveling. His face was like a full moon. With a sense of wonder Toba approached.

Hi, woman. Who are you! Where did you come from? Toba asked. The woman looked down. Her tears drooped. Kanda, I'm the fish you catch! Hah...! How could it be ? Toba is increasingly surprised. Kanda, I have long appealed to the Owner of Life, that I should turn into a man and the man who finds me should marry me, the woman explained with a sob. Hearing the woman's words, Toba is deeply moved.

Oh ...! All right, Dinda. I'm willing to marry you, Toba replied. But Kanda, there is one condition that should not be broken! What is the condition, Dinda? Toba asked again. Kanda must swear. Later if we have children, Kanda should not say that he's a child of fish! All right, Dinda, I agree. Two years after they married a boy was born. They named him Samosir. But there is something strange about Samosir. Until the age of seven he was always hungry. Just ate, she was feeling hungry again and asked for another meal.

Hungry and hungry, so Samosir. Ration of lunch for his father who was entrusted his mother, often eaten in the middle of the journey and Toba -ayahnya-just eat the rest. Because Toba's body rarely ate tired and weak. Samosir is also very naughty.

He likes to beat his friend to cry if his will is not obeyed. His father and his mother's advice was never ignored. However, Toba remains patient with Samosir's untruthful conduct. Hopefully my son, turned into a good boy, Please Toba in his prayers.
