<span style="font-size: x-small;">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?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Who are you? What’s your name? Why suddenly you are here in my house?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘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’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Were you the fish?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Yes, I was the fish. Look at your kitchen’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Toba immediately rushed to his kitchen and the fish was nowhere to be seen. He saw some gold coins instead.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Whose coins are these? Why there are some coins here?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Those coins are mine. As I changed into human being my scales changed into gold coins’ </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Ok you can live here and work for me. Your room is over there’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Thank you very much Mr. Toba’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Sam, wake up. Go to the farm and bring the food for your father. He must be very tired and hungry now’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But Mom, I am tired and hungry too’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘What makes you tired? You just wake up. Go now. You father needs the food’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘O, you are stupid lazy boy. You are son of a fish!’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘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’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Why mom? What will happen?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Just do it, never ask any question. Good bye’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lake Toba is located in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Today it becomes a tourist destination.</span></div>

and do you know what I want? I need you by my side I miss our times together may you never feel it<br />
how sick and miserable I was when you left. I repeatedly read all messages from you to not feel the tears fall,<br />
I cried remembering all the memories of you, I feel these days like in the hell is so hard to forget all the memories,<br />
present you with a thousand promises and you go without giving one
reason for sure you destroy all the promise, why did you do that?
anything wrong me?<br />
You Hurted Me At Extreme Level I was Silent,<br />
You Broke My Heart I was Silent<br />
You Ignored Me At Worst I was silent You Busy With Others And Didn’t Even Care For Me I Was Silent<br />
Every time I Texts You But You Didn’t Replied I Was Silent But When You
left me I Brusted into Tears … “Because You Hurts Me More Than I
Deserve”<br />
I have given all to you, trust, love, and even I had to leave all my friends just to maintain our relationship<br />
to survive, but it’s all just in vain. you think of me as a game and
when you get bored you go so wrote no matter what I’m feeling how sick,<br />
and miserable when we are together. I will never give up and tired of
love, I’m still waiting for you to come back to me someday.<br />
I call your name in prayer and everywhere I go there’s only your name,<br />
you can never replaced in my life you are a very special part of my life even though at this time I do not know where you are.<br />
It hurts when someone i love so much doesn’t feel the same,It hurts even more when my heart’s breaking and i can’t cry,<br />
One thing that haunts me every day and every night is your name, I’d say
I’m happy for you, but you’d know it’s all a lie. I told myself I would
never come in between you, I know your happy without me,<br />
I can see it in your eyes, I can hear it in your voice, I wanted to be
your Girl but I guess I was never your first choice. Looking at you, I
wondered if I could’ve made you happy, Your smile, your laughter, your
face and your voice is burned in my head, But then again I don’t think I
could’ve ever made you happy, Sometimes thinking about you makes me
want to die instead. I promised myself that I will continue loving you
no matter what.<br />
I also promised myself that I will never jeopardize your happiness, I
cannot lie but my love for you will never part, I promise you I will be
by your side if you’re ever in pain or sadness. This is my promise to
you as a friend and as someone who loves you.<br />
For all my friends :<br />
When Someone walks away from you -<br />
Let them Go (for sometime)<br />
Sometimes ..<br />
Hurt is needed to make us grow.<br />
Failure is needed to make us know<br />
Loss is needed to make us gain.<br />
In life, we all have:<br />
an UNSPEAKABLE secret<br />
an IRREVERSIBLE regret<br />
an UNREACHABLE dream<br />
and an UNFORGETTABLE love<br />
Remember!!<br />
Some lessons are BEST learned<br />
only through PAIN!!<br />

time ago in the island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer.
They had married for some years but they had no children. So they
prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give them children. Buta Ijo was
a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted their wish on one
condition. When their children had grown up, they had to sacrifice them
to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human being. The farmers
agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">She
gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The
farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl.
She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to
their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The
farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They
asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again.
The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their
parents said that Timun Emas was still a child. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">When
the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for
him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber,
dressing and salt. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Timun, take these things’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘What are these things?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘These
are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive.
So run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the
ground. Now go!’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Timun
Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo
arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that
his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he
knew what direction his prey ran. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Timun
Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily
catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly
spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of
cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and
ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run
away.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But
soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just
several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles. Soon they
turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took
him some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas
could run farther. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Buta
Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun
Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo
was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could
overcome it and continued chasing her.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Finally
when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land
where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died
instantly. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Timun Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Once
upon a time there was a widow who lived in the village of Dadapan.
She had a son whose name was Joko Tarup. Dadapan village was close to a
wood so Joko Tarup liked to go to the wood. He liked hunting for
animals with his blowpipe. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">One
day when he was in the wood he saw a beautiful rainbow and he saw seven
angels went down through it. He came closer and searched for them.
The seven angels were swimming and taking a bath in a lake. Joko Tarup
looked at them while hiding behind trees. When they had finished
taking a bath, they flew through the rainbow to heaven. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The
next day he saw the same thing again. This time Joko Tarup had an
idea. He searched for their dress and when he found them he took one of
them. As they had finished swimming and taking a bath, they looked for
their dress. One of them could not find her dress. Her friends had to
come back to heaven so they left her. She was crying while staying in
the water. Joko Tarup approached her.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Why are you crying lady?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘I lose my dress so I cannot go home’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Where is your home?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘I live in heaven. I’m an angel. My name is Nawang Wulan. But I lose my dress so I cannot fly anymore’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘I you don’t mind I will take my mother’s dress for you’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘OK, please do’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Wait for me here, I’ll be back’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Then
Joko Tarup went home to take her mother’s dress and gave it to Nawang
Wulan. He asked her to stay at her house with his mother. Not long
after that Joko Tarup married Nawang Wulan. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">As
an angel Nawang Wulan had spiritual power. She had ability which far
above human being. She could cook rice with just a bar of rice and when
it had done the bowl will be full of rice. But there was one
condition. The bowl must not be opened before it has done. Joko Tarup
was very surprised with her wife’s ability. He was very curious about
it. So when Nawang Wulan was away he opened the bowl. Consequently
Nawang’s spiritual power disappeared. She had to cook as ordinary
human being. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Several
months later Nawang Wulan gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her
name was Nawang Sih. The birth of Nawang Sih added happiness to Joko
Tarup and Nawang Wulan.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Since
Nawang Wulan could not cook efficiently anymore, she needed more rice
than usual. The stock of rice in their store room diminished rapidly.
Then one day when she took rice there she was very surprised. Nawang
Wulan found her angel dress. It was hidden there under piles of rice.
She immediately wore it and talked to Joko Tarup. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Forgive me, my dear. I admit that I did this because I love you’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘I
love you too. But now I find my dress. I must come back to heaven. I
am an angel. My place is not here. I have to go now’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘How about Nawang Sih? She needs you’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘I
will leave her but don’t worry. I will take care of her. Anytime she
needs me I will be here. For that purpose please build a tower. When
Nawang Sih cries put her there then call my name. I will come
immediately. But I will be invisible to you. Good bye dear’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Then
Joko Tarup built a tower behind his house. Every time Nawang Sih cried
he would put her there. Nawang Wulan would come and take care of

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Once,
in a rural village next to Lake Toba North Sumatera, there lived a
husband and a wife with a beautiful daughter named Seruni. Not only was
she beautiful, Seruni was also very diligent in helping her parents in
the field. Every day this family worked in this field on the edge of
Lake Toba, and the outcomes are used for their daily needs.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
One day, Seruni went to the field alone, because his parents went to a
neighboring village. Seruni was only accompanied by her beloved dog
named Toki's. Arriving at the farm, she didn’t work but he just sat
there looking at the natural beauty of Lake Toba as if she had solved a
difficult problem. While the dog, the Toki, came sitting next to her,
staring at her face as if he knew what Seruni thought. Once in a while
the dog barked to distract Seruni, but she is not teased.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAiyaytKjKw31a6GmwQhc0KHG_FmnD8uTtLfZ_xQO7-oQtFhEyZCaS0CTzHWfpZ9c3LLdrqOFGn2DVhpEfNmNcee5dCb4qrPOxmeJaRx1Jb8ll3NYJsX6sI-8DPSC80khWH5bCmImdow/s1600/batu+gantung.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAiyaytKjKw31a6GmwQhc0KHG_FmnD8uTtLfZ_xQO7-oQtFhEyZCaS0CTzHWfpZ9c3LLdrqOFGn2DVhpEfNmNcee5dCb4qrPOxmeJaRx1Jb8ll3NYJsX6sI-8DPSC80khWH5bCmImdow/s320/batu+gantung.jpg" width="320" /></a>The
last few days Seruni looked glum. He was very sad, because she was
given in marriage by her parents with a young man who was his cousin.
Though she had chosen his loved man and she had promised to live
together with him. She was very confused. On the one hand she did not
want to disappoint her parents, and she could not afford to part with
her love. Because of being unable to bear the heavy burden, he was
getting hopeless.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Yes, Lord! I am not able to live with this burden, "complained the Seruni.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
A few moments later, Seruni moved from his seat. With tears, she walked
slowly toward the Lake Toba. Apparently she wanted to end his life by
jumping into the lake's and the Toki, followed his master from behind
while barking.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
With a mind raging, Seruni walked toward the cliffs of Lake Toba without
paying attention to the road in its path. Unexpectedly, she suddenly
fell into a hole. The rocky ground that made the hole was getting dark.
Seruni girl is very scared. </span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Help.. Help.. Help.., Toki! "Seruni voice asking for help to her beloved dog.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
The Toki understood if Seruni required his help, but he could not do
anything except just barking at the hole. Seruni screamed several times
for help, but the Toki really could not afford helping her. Finally she
was getting desperate.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Ah, I'd rather die than live a long time to suffer," Seruni resigned.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Rock walls were moving ever closer.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Parapat...! Parapat Parapat ... "ordered Seruni to press her body withthe stone</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Being unable to help Seruni, Toki immediately ran home to ask for help.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Arriving at the master's house, he immediately went to Seruni parents.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Auggg ...! auggg ...! auggg ... "Toki's barking while clawing at the ground to tell the parents that the Seruni in danger.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Toki ..., where is Seruni? What happened to her? "Asked the father to the dog's Seruni.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Auggg ...! auggg ...! auggg ...! "he continued barking and ran back and forth to invite them to a place.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Sir, it looks like Seruni in danger," said the mother of Seruni.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Mom was right. The Toki invites us to follow, "said the father of Seruni.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"But how do we get there? "Said the mother.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"You prepare a torch! I'll be looking for help to neighbors, "cried the father.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Soon, the whole neighborhood had gathered at the home page Seruni's
father, carrying the torch. After that they followed the Toki to the
scene. Once they were in the field, the Toki directly toward the mouth
of the hole. </span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Both parents of Seruni immediately approached the mouth of the hole.
What a surprise when they saw a hole big enough rock on the edge of
their field. In the pit was heard the faint sound of a woman: "Parapat
...! Parapat Parapat stone ...! "</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Sir, listen to that voice! That voice is of our child! Seruni’s mother cried frantically.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Yes, ma'am! That sounds Seruni! "Replied the father panic.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"But, why would he shout: Parapat, parapatlah stone?" Asked the mother.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"I do not know, mom! It seems like there's something wrong in there, "said the father anxiously.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
A Farmer was trying to light up the hole with a torch, but the bottom of
the hole was so deep that it can not be penetrated by torchlight.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Seruniii ...! Seruniii ...! "Cried the father of Seruni.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Seruni ... my daughter! The mother and father came to help you! "Her mother shouted.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Several times they yelled, but they did not get a response from Seruni.
Only voice drifted Seruni who sent the stone closer to squeezing.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Parapat ...! Parapatlah stone ...! Parapat! "</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Seruniiii ... my daughter!" Once again the mother screaming and crying hysterically Seruni.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
People in attendance at the place were trying to help. One held ropes to
the bottom of the hole, but the slap was not touched at all. Seruni's
father increasingly concerned with the state of her father. He also
decided to follow her foray into the rock pit.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Mom, hold the torch!" Command of the father.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Where do you want to go?" Asked the mother.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"I'm following the Seruni into the hole," he replied firmly.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"No dad, it's dangerous!" Prevent the mother.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
"Yes sir, the hole was very deep and dark," said people</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
A moment later, suddenly heard a roar. The earth shook violently as if
to an end. Rock hole suddenly closes itself. The cliffs at the edge of
Lake Toba was falling. Seruni's father and mother and all the people ran
thither to escape. They left the mouth of the hole the rock, so that
poor Seruni could not be rescued from the crush of rock.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Some time after the earthquake stopped, suddenly appeared a large rock
that resembles a girl's body and as if hanging on the wall of the cliff
at the edge of Lake Toba. Local people believe that the stone is the
embodiment Seruni oppressed in the hole. By those stones were then given
the name "Hanging Rock". (BATU GANTUNG)</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
A few days later, fame spread the word about the events that befall her.
The people flocked to the scene to see the "Hanging Rock" is. Residents
who witnessed the incident told other people that before the hole was
closed, a voice: "... Parapat Parapat parapat stone ...!"</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Who are you? What’s your name? Why suddenly you are here in my house?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘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’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Were you the fish?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Yes, I was the fish. Look at your kitchen’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Toba immediately rushed to his kitchen and the fish was nowhere to be seen. He saw some gold coins instead.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Whose coins are these? Why there are some coins here?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Those coins are mine. As I changed into human being my scales changed into gold coins’ </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Ok you can live here and work for me. Your room is over there’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Thank you very much Mr. Toba’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Sam, wake up. Go to the farm and bring the food for your father. He must be very tired and hungry now’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But Mom, I am tired and hungry too’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘What makes you tired? You just wake up. Go now. You father needs the food’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘O, you are stupid lazy boy. You are son of a fish!’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘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’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Why mom? What will happen?’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Just do it, never ask any question. Good bye’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lake Toba is located in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Today it becomes a tourist destination.</span></div>
