The
Legend of Toba Lake
Once upon time, there
was a handsome man. His name was Batara Guru Sahala. He liked fishing. One day,
he caught a fish. He was surprised to find out that the fish could talk. The
fish begged him to set it free.
Batara Guru could not
bear it. He made the fish free. As soon as it was free, the fish changed into a
very beautiful woman. She attracted Batara Guru so much. He felt in love with
that fish-woman. The woman wanted to marry with him and said that Batara Guru
had to keep the secret which she had been a fish. Batara Guru aggreed and
promised that he would never tell anybody about it.
They were married
happily. They had two daughters. One day Batara Guru got very angry with his
daughter. He could not control his mad. He shouted angrily and got the word of
fish to his daugters. The daughters were crying. They found their mother and
talked her about it.
The mother was very
annoyed. Batara Guru broke his promise. The mother was shouting angrily. Then
the earth began to shake. Volcanoes started to erupt. The earth formed a very
big hole. People believed that the big hole became a lake. Then this lake is
known as Toba lake.
