Toba also agreed to the condition. They got married and both lived happily. During
                   their marriage Toba and his wife had a son named Samosir. Toba and his wife really
                   loved him. The mother always spoiled her son that he had a bad character.

               3.  Once upon a time, in the deep of North Sumatra, there was a farmer named Toba. He
                   lived alone in a very simple house. Both his parents had died very long ago. To fulfill
                   his daily life needs, Toba cultivated rice fields and heritage gardens belonging to his
                   grandfather. The local people knew Toba as a kind child. Besides that Toba was also
                   known as a helpful child who liked to help others. He never stayed silent seeing the
                   old in trouble
               4.  Realizing what had happened, Toba tried to save himself. However, his efforts were
                   in vain because the water continued to chase him. He started to sink by the water
                   that was getting wider and deeper. Then place where it happened turned into a very
                   large lake. The North Sumatran named the lake, Lake Toba.
               5.  Toba's wife told his son to immediately run to the hill not too far from their house.
                   Not  only  that,  he  also  told  his  son  to  climb  the  tallest  tree  on  the  hill.  Samosir
                   followed  his  mother's  orders.  He  ran  fast  and  reached  the  hill  in  short  time.  The
                   mother came out of the house. From a distance he saw that his son had reached the
                   hill. He also ran towards the river. Not so long ago she arrived at the river bank and
                   soon  the  weather  changed,  black  clouds  covered  the  place.  Thunder  stroke  and  it

                   rained heavily. Toba's wife threw herself into the river, immediately she turned into
                   a big fish and at once the water overflowed everywhere.
               6.  One day Toba was very angry with his son, Samosir. Because Samosir had eaten all
                   the food his wife prepared to him. Toba immediately hit his son repeatedly. "Insolent
                   child,  you  descendants  of  fish  who  do  not  know  you,"  shouted  Toba  to  his  son.
                   Samosir cried and immediately ran home. When he got home, he soon complained to
                   his  mother that  he  was  beaten  by  his  father.  Not  only  that,  he  also  told  what his
                   father had said to him. Her mother was very sad to hear that. Her husband broke his
                   promise.
