Legenda Danau Toba Versi Bahasa Inggris

Once upon a time there was a prosperous village in a far away island called Sumatra. In northern part of
the island, lived a farmer whose name was Toba. He lived alone in a hut by a small forest. He worked on
his farmland to grow rice and vegetables that he sells to local market. Once day he wanted to catch some
fish so he went to a river and fished there. He was very surprised when he got a big fish. The fish was as
big as human being. Soon he went home and put the fish in his kitchen. He planned to cook the fish for
his dinner that night. When he got to his house that afternoon he took a bath. Then as he walked into his
bedroom after taking a bath Toba was very shocked. Do you want to know what happened?

There stood in his living room a very beautiful girl. The girl greeted him nicely. For a moment Toba was
speechless. When he could control his emotion he asked her.

‘Who are you? What’s your name? Why suddenly you are here in my house?’

‘Pardon me if I surprised you Mr. Toba, but you took me here. I was the fish that you caught in the river.
Now that I become a human being again, I would like to thank you and I will be your servant to express
my thankfulness’

‘Were you the fish?’

‘Yes, I was the fish. Look at your kitchen’.

Toba immediately rushed to his kitchen and the fish was nowhere to be seen. He saw some gold coins
instead.

‘Whose coins are these? Why there are some coins here?’

‘Those coins are mine. As I changed into human being my scales changed into gold coins’
‘Ok you can live here and work for me. Your room is over there’

‘Thank you very much Mr. Toba’

Since that day the beautiful girl lived in Toba’s house. Since she was very beautiful Toba fell in love with
her and not long after that they got married. The girl married to Toba on one condition that he would
never tell anybody about her past. Toba agreed to the condition. Several months later Toba’s wife
delivered to a baby boy. Their son was healthy. Soon he grew up into a handsome boy. Toba named him
Samosir. Unfortunately Samosir was a lazy boy. He did not want to work at all. When his father worked
hard in his rice field and farm, Samosir just slept. When he was awake he talked a lot and he ate a lot.
Toba was very disappointed with his son’s nature. He hoped that one day Samosir would change into a
diligent boy. Day in and day out but Samosir never changed.

Toba used to go to his farm and rice field early in the morning. Then at midday his wife would bring him
food. They used to eat lunch at their farm. As he was a teenager Toba and his wife tried to change his
behavior. They ordered Samosir to bring food for his father for lunch while her mother stayed at home to
do household chores. But Samosir never did his duty well. He always woke up very late. He woke up after
midday. Then one day his mother forced him to bring the food.

‘Sam, wake up. Go to the farm and bring the food for your father. He must be very tired and hungry
now’.

But Mom, I am tired and hungry too’

‘What makes you tired? You just wake up. Go now. You father needs the food’

Toba reluctantly went to the farm. But he did not go to the farm immediately. He stopped somewhere in
the street and ate the food. It was already late afternoon when he got to the farm. His father was
disappointed. Then he was angry as he realized that his son had eaten his food. He said sarcastically.

‘O, you are stupid lazy boy. You are son of a fish!’
Samosir was hurt. He went home right away and as he got home he told his mother about his father’s
words. Samosir’s mother was shocked. She was also deeply hurt.

‘O Toba. You break your promise so I cannot live with you here anymore. Now you have to accept to
consequence of what you did. Samosir, now go to the hill, find the tallest tree and climb it’

‘Why mom? What will happen?’

‘Just do it, never ask any question. Good bye’

As soon as she finished saying that suddenly the weather changed. Sunny day suddenly turned into
cloudy day. Not long after that the rain poured heavily. The rain last for several days. Consequently the
area was flooded. The whole area became a big lake. Then it was called Lake Toba and in the middle of
the lake there is an island called Samosir Island. Meanwhile Toba’s wife disappeared.

Timun Emas

Long time ago, lived an old women named Mbok Sirni. She lived by herself because her husband had
long passed away and she had no children. Every day, she prayed so God would give her a child. One
night, when she was praying, a giant passed her house and heard her pray. “I can give you a child on one
condition,” the giant said to Mbok Sirni, “You must give the child back to me when it is six years old.”
Mbok Sirni was so happy; she did not think about the risk of losing the child later and agreed to take the
giant’s offer. The giant then gave her a bunch of cucumber seeds. “Plant it around your house.” The giant
then left without saying anything else. In the

morning, Mbok Sirni planted the seeds. The seeds grew within mere days, and blossomed plentifully.Not
longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. Carefully, Mbok Sirni plucked the golden
cucumber and carried it home. With caution and care, she sliced the cucumber. She was very surprised
to see a beautiful baby girl inside the cucumber. She then named the baby Timun Emas (it means Golden
Cucumber).

Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a lovely and beautiful little girl. She was also smart
and kind. Mbok Sirni loved her very much. But she kept thinking about the time the giant would take
Timun Emas away from her. One night, Mbok Sirni had a dream. In order to save Timun Emas from the
giant, she had to meet the holy man who lived in Mount Gundul. The next morning, Mbok Sirni took
leave of Timun Emas to go to Mount Gundul. The holy man then gave her four little bags, each one
containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. “Timun Emas can use these to protect
herself,” said the holy man to Mbok Sirni.

A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Sirni about her promise. “Mbok Sirni! Where is Timun
Emas?” shouted the giant. “My daughter, take these bag with you. It can save you from the giant. Now,
run through the back door,” said Mbok Sirni. But the giant saw Timun Emas running to the woods. The
giant was angry. Starved and enraged, he rushed toward Timun Emas. Mbok Sirni tried to stop him, but
the giant was unstoppable.

The giant was getting closer and closer, so Timun Emas opened the first bag she got from Mbok Sirni.
Inside the bag were cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds, and instantly they grew into large cucumber
field. But the giant ate them all, giving him more strength. As the giant was getting close, Timun Emas
took the second bag with needles inside and spilled the content behind her. The needles turned into
bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giant’s body was scratched and bled. “Aaargh, I’ll get you, Timun
Emas!” shouted the giant as he tried to get himself out from the bamboo field. He made it and still
chasing Timun Emas.

Timun Emas then reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the salt touched
turned into a deep sea. The giant almost drown and had to swim to cross the sea. After some time, he
managed to get out from the water. Timun Emas saw the giant coming, so she reached for the last bag.
She took the shrimp paste and threw it. The shrimp paste became a big swamp of boiling mud. The giant
was trapped in the middle of the swamp. The mud slowly but surely drowned him. Helpless, he roared
out, “Help! Heeeeelp…!” Then the giant drown and died. Timun Mas then immediately went home.
Since then, Timun Emas and Mbok Sirni live happily ever after.***

soldiers arrived at the border of the Hilir’s Kingdom, they saw nothing and they thought that their plan
to given their enemy a sudden attack went successfully.

“I still say no because…”

“Father” the princess walked toward their father and took his father’s hands “I promise, nothing bad will
happen to me. You can send your soldier with me but please just send two soldiers because I have a
plan.”

“What is it?” asked the king

plan carefully and then he nodded his head as the princes asked for his permission. Then, the next
following day, the princess along with two soldiers set off to the Hilir Kingdom. The princess was
