One day, a fisherman named Batara Guru Sahala lived in
Batak land. He caught a fish. He was suprised to find that the fish could talk.
It begged Sahala to let it free. He did accordingly.
As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman.
She was a beautiful that Sahala felt in love her at once. He asked her to marry
him. The woman agreed to marry Sahala. However, she told him that he must never
let out the secret that she was once fish. Sahala promised her that he could
not tell anyone about it.
They were happily married, and had two daughters. Every
morning Sahala went out fishing. His daughters would bring him his lunch. One
day, however instead of bringing the food to their father, the two girls ate
it.
When Sahala knew that they had done with meal, he got
very angry. He shouted at them saying,”You behaved exactly like the daughters
of fish!” The daughters didn’t know that what their father meant. They went
home and asked their mother about it. Their mother was very annoyed. Although
Sahala apologized to her later, she would not forgive him for breaking his
promise.
Then the earth began to shake, and volcanoes started to
erupt. The earth cracked and formed a big hole. People said that the hole became
LAKE TOBA.
