lake toba

"The story of Lake Toba is a famous folk tale from North Sumatra. It tells the story of a man named Toba who lived as a farmer. One day, he caught a fish that magically turned into a beautiful woman. They got married, but the woman asked Toba to promise that he would never tell anyone about her secret. They had a son named Samosir. One day, Toba became angry with Samosir and called him the son of a fish. This broke his promise. Suddenly, heavy rain fell and a great flood covered the area. The flood formed a large lake, which is now known as Lake Toba, and the island in the middle is called Samosir Island."
