sunny morning, the farmer went fishing in the river. He wish got some big fish today, Some time after the hook is
thrown, the hook wobbling and he immediately pulled the hook.

Toba : Thank God, you gave me a big fish, and the fish is also beautiful. Red scales shine like gold.
Hmmm .... Definitely it taste good when I eat it later.

After that, toba went home to cook the fish. Toba without accidentally releasing the hook and the fish falls. Then
not how long the fish had been transformed into a beautiful young woman, and he was very shocked.

Putri : hi, my name is putri. Do not worry sir, I'm also human just like you. I owe so much to you
because you have saved me from the curse of the gods. I'm willing to be your wife.

Toba : wait.. is this real?

Putri : Of course ..

Putri : But Toba, there is one thing you must keep secret about myself. I beg you to not tell everyone
me about my origin as a fish, because if all of people know it, that will definitely be a major disaster that struck
this village.

Toba : Well, entrust all this to me. Let's go home.

For a moment Toba was speechles, then Toba and Putri returned home. Toba married Putri, the fish he fished.
A year later, Toba and Putri happiness increases as Putri gave birth to a son and named Samosir. Samosir grew
into a boy who is healthy and strong, but a little naughty.

In a sunny morning, toba want to go to the fields.

Toba : Honey where's lunch for me?

Putri : i've already prepared it for you .....Well Samosir, where the food was?

Samosir : I thought it's for me, so i ate it. I'm still hungry, but never mind .. I'm going to play.. bye father

Toba was very angry with his son's attitude but he can still hold his temper. But the patience of someone have
limits. Until one day toba can not control his anger.

Putri : Samosir, Help mom son ..

Samosir : But mom, i'm still playing ..

Putri : Bring the food to your father in the fields. Pity he's been waiting for it.

Samosir : ugh, this mother, give it to me!

From the start, Samosir had no attention to the food her mom made for his father. But in the middle of the road...

Samosir :Ugh, i'm so tired to bring this food to my father. Hmmm, maybe if i eat it a little bit father wouldn't be
angry.
Provision that had been prepared by his mom to his father devoured by Samosir. Then the feeling of innocence,
Samosir went home and continued his game. Father who had overheated and hungry waiting decided to go home.
Arriving at the house.,

Toba : Honey, where my lunch ..? You do not prepare it?

Putri : I told samosir to bring it for you

Toba : Samosir, come here!

Samosir : What's wrong? I had more fun playing ..

Toba : where's my lunch???

Samosir : I ate a pack because the trip to the fields makes tired and hungry ..

Toba : I've been starving waiting for the food, and now it has run out of food ... YOU SON OF A FISH!

Toba broke his promise, Sudden gush of water are very heavy, so toba and villages in the surrounding villages
submerged to form a lake and there is a small island in the middle.The lake is known as Toba lake, and the island
is now known as Samosir. Until now people in sumatra believe that the lake was the whole body of mr toba and
the island was the whole Body of samosir.

the moral value of this story is,

if you have a promise do not ever break it

we must be patient to all conditions

we must be forgiving people
