strong to and fro with the strong. He was very happy. Because he was sure it
must have been a very big fish. After the fish was exhausted, Toba lifting

Arriving home,
the fish was placed in the kitchen while he cleaned up. What a surprise when he
returned to the kitchen, he was not see the fish again but gold pieces lying on
the spot where the fish was placed.

Over a year later, they were blessed with a son, named Samosir. Samosir is very spoiled by her mother. All desires are always fulfilled. As a result he became a naughty boy and lazy. He always refused when told by his mother.
One day, his mother told Samosir bring food to his father who was looking for fish in the river. His mother forced him, then Samosir went to his father. But in the middle of the way he stopped and ate food provided by her mother for his father's lunch. After being satisfied, he gave the remains to his father. His father was very angry to find his son's behavior. Because he can not hold back his anger again, he beat his son and said, "You little fish!"
Samosir ran home crying. He described what happened to her mother, that he was beaten by his father and his father said that he was young fish. Toba's wife was very angry and sad. Not because her son was beaten but because her husband did not keep his promise to never reveal their origin.
Then he told him to immediately run to the hills and climb a tree as high as the highest he could. After he saw his son managed to reach a safe place, then the wife of Toba ran and threw itself into the river. Soon it turned into a very big fish.
