Once a fisherman named Batara Guru Sahala
lived in Batakland. One day, he caught a fish. To his surprise, he found that
the fish could talk! It begged Sahala to set it free. Sahala did accordingly.
As soon as the fish was free, it changed into
a woman. She was so beautiful that the fisherman fell in love with 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 a fish. Sahala
promised her that he would 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 girls ate it. When Sahala learnt what they had done with his meal, he got
very angry. He shouted at them, saying, “You behaved exactly like the daughters
of a fish.”
The girls did not understand what their father
meant. They went home and asked their mother about it. When they told her what
he had said, she was very annoyed. Although Sahala apologized to her later, she
would not forgive him for breaking his promise.
Then, the earth began to tremble, and
volcanoes started to erupt. The earth cracked to form a big hole. People said
that this hole became Lake Toba.
