The Miracle happened.
When he would cut the fish, that fish suddenly sai,
"Please don't kill me. I will help you then."
Toba was very amazed, "But I am very hungry. I need some dishes to eat today." Toba said.
"I will prepare some meals for you, plese release me," the fish answered sadly.

Toba was sympathetic to fish.
Then, he released the fish in the river.
Surprisingly, after arriving at his house, there were various meals in his dinning table.
In his kitchen, he even found a beautiful girl had been cooking for him.
"Thank you, you have helped me. I am the incarnation of that fish. Now, I will work for you," she said.

Several years after, Toba wanted to get married with that goo-looking girl.That girl agreed but with a requirement, "If someday we are granted a child by God, please don't tell her/him that she/he was the child of fish even though her/his mother was the incarnation of fish.If you broke this promise, a disaster would come to this village."

Toba agreed to the girl.
A year after, they granted a baby from God named Samosir.
They lived happily.
Nevertheless, Samosir was spoiled, and he grew to be lazy boy.
He even became naughty boy.
