STORY OF TOBA LAKE
Once upon a time, there was a fisherman lived
in a North Sumatra. Dont ask me the year, all I know it was a very long time
before you were born. When he was fishing in a river, a big fish was nailed.
This fish had gold color all over its body. It was beautiful. The fisherman was
very excited. He imagined a delicious dinner in his head. He put the fish in
his basket and went home happily.
When he got home, he put the fish in a sink.
He grabbed a knife to kill the fish. But when he almost killed it, he saw the
fish eyes and felt pity. He took the knife away and put the fish in washbasin
and added water in it. Dont worry, I wouldnt kill you the fisherman said.
The fisherman went
fishing again. But this time he couldnt get any fish. He went home with nothing
in his hand. His stomach started to sing. He walked home slouching. He was
surprised when he saw smoke came out from his kitchen.
TheFisherman : Who cooked in my
kitchen? (he confused.)
He took a peep and surprised when he saw a
beautiful girl cooked in his house. Why theres a girl in my kitchen? he
confused.
TheFisherman : (The fisherman
entered the room). Who are you? (he asked the girl.)
The Girl : Im the fish
The
fisherman looked the washbasin and saw nothing in it. The fish? he asked
incredulous.
The gril :Yes. You
didnt kill me and Im very thankful. I will return your kindness
The Fisherman :Thats ok. I didnt ask any return ,But
I have to.The girl insisted.
Well, I lived alone. I dont have family. If
you want to be my wife, I will be very happy.
The girl
smiled
The Gril : I happy to but you have to
promise me that if we have kid you cant tell him about me.
And so, the fisherman and the fish girl were
married. And then they had a child called Samo. Samo was very naughty. He
couldnt be advisable. He always played and never helped his parents.
One day Samo was asked to
deliver lunch to his father. On his way, he met his friends and forgot to
deliver his fathers lunch. Samo played with his friends. When he was tired and
hungry, he was resting under a tree and ate his father lunch. Meanwhile his
father waited him in starve and tired. His father went home and saw Samo
played.
The Father :Where is my lunch?
Samo : Mmmmm.. I
eat it (Samo said afraid.)
The
Father :Why you aet it ?
Samo :Mmm..mm..
I was hungry after playing with my friend
You were told to deliver my lunch but you
didnt listen. his father was very furious. I cant handle you anymore. You are
very naughty.
The Father :Go away from me. Dont come home anymore.
(His father yelled and evicted
Samo from his house.)
And this what happened if
you cant control your mouth when you angry.
The father : (the words
that he wouldnt suppose to say). You fish son.
Suddenly, the sky was getting dark. The storm
was breaking the ears. The rain felt from the sky like giant hose sprayed water
all over the place. And then the water came out from the land and getting
harder.
Samo mother was very sad.
The Mother
:I told you dont tell him about me. Now Im going back to be fish again.
Good bye( the mother was transformed magically to be gold fish again and
disappear through the water)
The water was getting higher and drown the village
and formed a lake.
Meanwhile, sumo run to
the hill and stayed there. The hill then was surrounded by the lake.
Now the lake was known as
Toba Lake. Toba came from Tuba word means no mercy. And the hill in the middle
called Samosir Island. Samosir means Samo di usir or in English : Samo have
been evicted.
