Once upon a time, there was a handsome man. His name was Batara Guru Sahala. He liked fishing.
One day, he caught a fish. He was surprised to find out that the fish could talk. The fish begged him to set it free. Batara Guru could not bare it. He made the fish free.
Please! I begged you to set me free.
I promise, I would never tell anybody about it.
As soon as it was free, the fish changed into a very beautiful woman. She attracted Batara Guru so much. Batara Guru made a promise.They were married happily. They had two daughters.
I think I'm inlove with you
We can get married but you have to keep the secret that I'm a fish
One day Batara Guru got very angry with his daughters. He would not control his mad.
You two are so hard headed! Both of you are like your fish woman mother!
The daugthers got shock from what their father told them. And told their mother about it. The mother was very annoyed and she is shouting angrily.
Mother, Father was so angry and he told us that you are fish-woman. Is that true?
Yes that's true and he promised me that he won't tell anybody about it, but he broke his promise!!
Then the earth began to shake. Volcanoes started to erupt. The earth formed a big hole. People believed that the big hole became a lake. Then the lake is known as TOBA LAKE.
