The Legend of Toba Lake

Once upon a time, in North Sumatra, there was a young farmer named Toba. One day, he caught a magical golden fish that transformed into a beautiful woman. The woman agreed to marry him under one condition: he must never tell anyone that she was once a fish.

They lived happily and had a son named Samosir. However, Samosir grew into a lazy boy who rarely helped his parents. One day, Toba got very angry because Samosir ate his food without permission. In his frustration, Toba shouted, "You are the son of a fish!"

Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and heavy rain began to fall. His wife was heartbroken, and she disappeared into the river. The water kept rising until it formed a vast lake, which is now known as Lake Toba.
