Once
upon a time, there was a fisherman lived in a North
Sumatra . Don’t ask me the year, all I know it was a very long time
before you were born. When he was fishing in a river, a big fish was nailed.
This fish had gold color all over its body. It was beautiful. The fisherman was
very excited. He imagined a delicious dinner in his head. He put the fish in
his basket and went home happily.
When
he got home, he put the fish in a sink. He grabbed a knife to kill the fish.
But when he almost killed it, he saw the fish eyes and felt pity. He took the
knife away and put the fish in washbasin and added water in it. “Don’t worry, I
wouldn’t kill you” the fisherman said.
The
fisherman went fishing again. But this time he couldn’t get any fish. He went
home with nothing in his hand. His stomach started to sing. He walked home
slouching. He was surprised when he saw smoke came out from his kitchen.
“Who
cooked in my kitchen?” he confused.
He
took a peep and surprised when he saw a beautiful girl cooked in his house.
“Why there’s a girl in my kitchen?” he confused.
The
fisherman entered the room. “Who are you?” he asked the girl.
“I’m
the fish.” The girl said.
The
fisherman looked the washbasin and saw nothing in it. “The fish?” he asked
incredulous.
“Yes.
You didn’t kill me and I’m very thankful. I will return your kindness.” The
girl said.
“That’s
ok. I didn’t ask any return” the fisherman said.
“But
I have to.”The girl insisted.
“Well,
I lived alone. I don’t have family. If you want to be my wife, I will be very
happy.” The fisherman asked the girl.
The
girl smiled and said “I’d love to but you have to promise me that if we have
kid you can’t tell him about me.”
And
so, the fisherman and the fish girl were married. And then they had a child
called Samo. Samo was very naughty. He couldn’t be advisable. He always played
and never helped his parents.
One
day Samo was asked to deliver lunch to his father. On his way, he met his
friends and forgot to deliver his father’s lunch. Samo played with his friends.
When he was tired and hungry, he was resting under a tree and ate his father
lunch. Meanwhile his father waited him in starve and tired. His father went
home and saw Samo played. “Where is my lunch?” he asked.
“Mmm…mm..
I ate it” Samo said afraid.
“Why
you ate it?” his father asked.
“Mmm..mm..
I was hungry after playing with my friend” Samo said.
“You
were told to deliver my lunch but you didn’t listen.” his father was very
furious. “I can’t handle you anymore. You are very naughty. Go away from me.
Don’t come home anymore.” His father yelled and evicted Samo from his house.
And
this what happened if you can’t control your mouth when you angry. His father
said the words that he wouldn’t suppose to say. “You… fish’s son.”
Suddenly,
the sky was getting dark. The storm was breaking the ears. The rain felt from
the sky like giant hose sprayed water all over the place. And then the water came
out from the land and getting harder.
Sumo’s
mother was very sad. “I told you don’t tell him about me” she said to her
husband. “Now I’m going back to be fish again. Good by” the mother was
transformed magically to be gold fish again and disappear through the water.
The water was getting higher and drown the village and formed a lake.
Meanwhile,
sumo run to the hill and stayed there. The hill then was surrounded by the
lake.
Now
the lake was known as Toba
Lake . Toba came from Tuba
word means no mercy. And the hill in the middle called Samosir Island .
Samosir means ‘Samo di usir’ or in English : Samo have been evicted.
This is just a legend, there were so many
versions of the name’s story. You can’t tell which one is really true. But I
heard this version since I was a little girl.
