Summary

TLDRIn a valley in Sumatra, a hardworking farmer named Toba struggles with failed crops and hunger. One day, he catches a large golden-scaled fish that magically transforms into a beautiful woman. She agrees to marry him on the condition that he never speaks of her past as a fish. They have a son, Samosir, who becomes mischievous and lazy. Toba, frustrated with his son's behavior, unknowingly breaks the promise and calls him an 'offspring of a fish.' This triggers a curse, causing a great flood that drowns the valley, leaving only a hill where Samosir survives, and the lake is formed, named after the tragedy.
