Once upon a time, there was a man who was living in north
Sumatra. He lived in a simple hut in a farming field. The did some gardening
and fishing for his daily life.
One day, while the man was do fishing, he caught a big
golden fish in his trap. It was the biggest catch which he ever had in his
life. Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess. He felt in love
with her and proposed her to be his wife. She said; "Yes, but you have to
promise not to tell anyone about the secret that I was once a fish, otherwise
there will be a huge disaster". The man made the deal and they got
married, lived happily and had a son.
Few years later, this
son would help bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day, his son
was so hungry and she ate his father’s lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and
got furious, and shouted; “You damned son of a fish”. The son ran home and
asked her mother. The mother started crying, felt sad that her husband had
broke his promise.
Then she told her son
to run up the hills because a huge disaster was about to come. When her son
left, she prayed. Soon there was a big earthquake followed by non-stop pouring
rain. The whole area got flooded and became Toba Lake. She turned into a fish again
and the man became the island of Samosir.
MORAL VALUE : “Never
break a promise that has been made but stick to promise”
