Toba : My name is Toba. Lets go home, I can’t wait to introducing you as my wife hahaha…
Putri : But Toba, you need to cover my real identity as a fish. Don’t let anyone know the fact
that I’m a fish. If that happen, it could be the huge disaster to this village.
Toba : Well, you can have my words. I never told anyone about this.
Narator : A year later, Toba and Putri have a son that they called Samosir. Samosir grewa
into a boy who is healthy and strong, but a little naughty.
Toba : Mom, Where lunch for me?
Putri : I have prepared, and I put it on the table. Samosir, where is your father lunch?

Putri : Be patient sir, I will make you another one. Remember he is the only one son that we
have. Don’t let this kind of situation bring your emotional out.
Toba : Well just make me some food to eat, I’m so starving.
Putri : Wait, I’ll make it.
Narator : Toba can still hold his temper. But each of us has limitation in paticiene, until
someday Toba can’t hold his temper anymore.
Putri : Samosir, help me please.
Samosir : Oh come on mom, what is it, I’m playing.
Putri : Please bring this to your father in the field, he must be hungry and tired.
Samosir : You go by yourself.
Putri : I need to cook honey, just go bring this to your father, or he will angry.
Samosir : (sigh) give me the stuff, hurry!
Narator : Samosir wasn’t really concern about the food, he wasn’t care whether to bring this
on time or not.
Samosir : its so far away, I’m alone, tired, and hungry in this road. Better to eat some portion
of father’s lunch.
Narrator : The food has been eaten by Samosir, and without feeling guilty he came home and
continueing playing. When his father arrived…
Toba : Mom, where is my lunch? You haven’t made yet?
Putri : I have asked Samosir to bring it to you.
Toba : Samosir, come here quickly!
Samosir : What is again? I’m playing father.
Toba : Where is my lunch?
Samosir : I have ate them all, I was so tired and hungry in the way to field.
Toba : I’ve been starving waiting for food, and without feeling guilty you just said you have

Samosir : Mother (crying)
Putri : Run Samosir! Run!.. Father, you have broke our promise .
Toba : But I didn’t mean it. I’m emotional, sorry putri.
Putri : You will get what you have done eventually.
Narator : Suddenly a gush of water comes up, so the farmer and all of his surrounding
submerged into water that form as a lake and there is small island in the middle of that.
