Once upon a time, there was a fisherman named Batara Guru Sahala who lived in Batak
land. One day, he caught a fish that could talk. The fish begged Sahala to set it free and
he did accordingly.
As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman. She was so beautiful that Sahala
fell in love with her at once. He asked her to marry him. The woman agreed to marry
Sahala, but in one condition: he had to keep the secret that she was once a fish. Sahala
promised her that he would not tell anyone about it.
They were happily married and had two daughters. Every morning Sahala went out
fishing. His daughters would bring him his lunch. One day, however, instead of bringing
the food to their father, the two girls ate it.
When Sahala knew what they had done with the meal, he got very angry. He shouted at
them saying, "You behaved exactly like the daughters of a fish."
The girls did not understand what their father meant. They went home and asked their
mother about it. Their mother was very annoyed. Although Sahala apologized to her
later, she would not forgive him for breaking his promise.
From that moment on, Sahala took a lesson that he should not have broken his own
promise. Sahala was so grief-striker that he decided to wander for the rest of his life.

One day there was a miser who sold all that he had to buy a lump of gold. After buying
the gold, he buried it in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at
daily. One of his workmen realized his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch
his movements secretly.
He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure and stole it. The next day the
miser found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A
neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not
grieve so."
"Then take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It
will do you quite the same service; because when you placed the gold there, you had it
not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
Moral of the story: The worth of material wealth comes from what you do with it. If you do
nothing with it, it doesn't mean anything.

Once upon a time, there was a poor farmer who dug up a big box in his field. He took it
home and showed it to his wife. His wife cleaned it and kept it in their house. One day,
she dropped an apple into it. Immediately, the box began to fill up with apples. No matter
how many were taken out, others took their place. So, the farmer and his wife sold the
apples and were able to live quite comfortably.
Then the farmer dropped a coin into the box. At once, the apples disappeared and the
box began to fill itself with coins. Every day the farmer and his wife collected hundreds
and hundreds of coins from the box. Soon, they became very rich.
Now, the farmer's grandfather lived with the couple. He has not very strong and he could
not go out to work. So, the farmer asked the old man to help him take the money out of
the box. When his grandfather became tired and wanted to rest, the farmer shouted at
him, "Why are you lazy? Why can't you work harder?"
The old man did not say anything, but he continued working until he fell inside the box
and died. At once, the money disappeared and the box began to fill up with dead
grandfathers.
The farmer had to pull them out and bury them. To do this, he had to spend all the
money he had collected. When he had used up all the money, the box broke and the
farmer was just as poor as he was before.

In the past, there lived a young orphan farm in the northern part of the island of Sumatra.
Syahdan, the young man made his life from farming and fishing.
One day while he was fishing he got a fish which was so beautiful in golden brown.
While he was holding it, the fish turned into a beautiful princess.
The princess was a woman who was condemned for violating the prohibitions and it
would turn into a kind of creature who first touched it. Because at that time the human
touched it, then it turned into a princess.
Fascinated by her beauty, the young man asked her to be his wife. The application was
accepted on condition that the young man was not allowed to tell the origin of the
princess who came originally from fish.
The young man agreed to this requirement. Having got married for a year, the couple got
a boy but he had a bad habit that he never felt satisfied while he was eating. He ate all
the food.
One day the boy ate all the food that should be given to his father. The young man then
so angrily said: "basically you are the offspring of fish!" That statement by itself unlocked
the secrets of his wife and broke his promise.
Shortly afterwards, his wife and son magically disappeared. Suddenly in the land of their
former footsteps went out the springs which were very heavy. The water flew from these
springs continuously and the longer it happened the larger it would be.
Finally, these springs became a vast lake. The lake is now called Toba Lake
