Once a fisherman named Gemby in Bataknese Land. One day, he caught the fish. To his surprise, he found that the fish could talk. It begged Gemby to set it free. Gemby did accordingly.
As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman. She was so beautiful that the fisherman feel in love with her at once. He asked to marry him. The woman agreed to marry with Gemby. However, she told him that he must never let out the secret that she was once the fish. Gemby promised her that he would not tell anyone about it.
They were hapily married, and had two daughter. Every morning, Gemby went out fishing. His daughter would bring him his lunch. One day, learnt what they had done with his meal, he got very angry. He shouted at them, saying “you behaved exactly like the daughter of a fish.”
The girls did know what their father meant. They went home and asked their mother about it. When they told her what he said, she was very annoyed. Altough Gemby apologized to her later, she would not forgive him for breaking his promise.
Then, the earth began tremble, and volcanoes started to erupt. The earth cracked to form a big hole. People said that this hole became Lake Toba.
