Once, a fisherman named Batara
Guru Sahala in Batak land. One day
he caught a fish. He was surprised to
find that the fish could talk. It begged
Sahala to set it free. He did
accordingly.
As soon as the fish was free, it
changed into a woman. She was
beautiful that Sahala 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 two girls ate it.
When Sahala knew that they had done
with the meal, he got very angry. He
shouted at them saying,” You behaved
exactly like the daughters of fish!”
The girls didn’t know what their
father meant, They went home and
asked their mother about it. Their
mother was very annoyed. Although,
Sahala apologized to her, it was too
late. She would not forgive him for
breaking his promise.
The earth began to shake, and
volcano started to erupt. The earth
cracked and formed a big hole. People
said that hole became lake Toba.
