Danau Toba

a long time ago, lived a young man named Toba. He had two excellent abilities in terms of
fishing and farming. When fishing, Toba was very astute and did not require a long time to
get the fish. Just thrown the hook into the river, and he got the big fish.

Pada zaman dahulu kala, tinggal seorang pemuda bernama Toba. Dia memiliki dua kemampuan
yang sangat baik dalam hal perikanan dan pertanian. Ketika memancing, Toba sangat cerdik
dan tidak membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk mendapatkan ikan. Begitu pancingan
dilemparkan ke sungai, dan ia akan segera mendapat ikan besar.

One afternoon, he went fishing to a river that was wide enough. Within seconds after he
threw the hook into the river, the fish immediately grabbed the bait and he got a big fish
for dinner.

Suatu sore, ia pergi memancing ke sungai yang cukup lebar. Dalam hitungan detik setelah ia
melemparkan kail ke sungai, ikan langsung menyambar umpan dan ia mendapat ikan besar
untuk makan malam.

He immediately went home and along the way he continued pleased because of having
enough fish for a dinner. He immediately moved the fish from the creel to the tub filled
with water. He wanted the fish stay fresh when cooked so the taste was remarkably good.
After putting fish inside the tubs, he prepared seasoning and firewood which needed in the
process of ripening. Unfortunately, firewood in the house was out and he immediately
looked for firewood in the forest.

Dia segera pulang ke rumah dan sepanjang jalan ia terus senang karena memiliki cukup ikan
untuk makan malam. Dia segera pindah ikan dari kembu ke bak yang diisi dengan air. Dia ingin
ikan tetap segar saat dimasak sehingga rasa ikan tersebut sangat baik. Setelah menempatkan
ikan di dalam bak, ia menyiapkan bumbu dan kayu bakar yang diperlukan dalam proses
pematangan. Sayangnya, kayu bakar di rumah itu habis dan dia langsung mencari kayu bakar di
hutan.

Several hours later, he went home and carrying firewood pretty much to cook the fish.
However, when he got home, he was surprised because the fish was lost. He even found
pieces of gold, and a beautiful girl who was sitting in his room.

Beberapa jam kemudian, ia pulang ke rumah dan membawa kayu bakar yang cukup banyak
untuk memasak ikan. Namun, sesampainya di rumah, dia terkejut karena ikan itu hilang. Dia
bahkan menemukan keping emas, dan seorang gadis cantik yang sedang duduk di kamarnya.

Furthermore, the beautiful girl told to Toba that she was the fish which arrested by him,
and pieces of gold was the part of constitutes fish. He then asked that pretty girl to marry
him. The beautiful girl agreed to his request, but he should not bring up the past of that
beautiful girl. Toba approved it and they were married.
Selain itu, gadis cantik memberitahu Toba bahwa dia adalah ikan yang ditangkap oleh dia, dan
potongan-potongan emas adalah bagian dari ikan tersebut. Dia kemudian meminta
agar gadis cantik itu untuk menikah dengannya. Gadis cantik tersebut menyetujui
permintaannya, tetapi ia tidak boleh mengungkapkan masa lalu gadis cantik itu. Toba setuju dan
mereka menikah.

His wife and him got are blessed a boy named Samosir. His child was very agile, intelligent,
but spoiled. When his child reached an age, there are task which should be performed
every day, namely delivering the food into his rice fields. One time, his child felt very lazy
to deliver food to the field and made his wife scolded.

Istri Toba dan dia mendapat berkat seorang anak bernama Samosir. Anaknya sangat lincah,
cerdas, tapi manja. Ketika anaknya mulai besar, ada tugas yang harus dilakukan setiap hari,
yaitu membawakan makanan ke sawah nya. Suatu kali, anaknya merasa sangat malas untuk
membawakan makanan ke sawah dan membuat Istri Toba memarahi anaknya.

Finally, his child forced usher these foods into the field. Because so upset, his child ate most
of the food at the trip, then bring it to the field with just a little food. When food given to
the Toba, of course he surprised and asked about it to his son.

Akhirnya, anaknya terpaksa mengantar makanan tersebut ke sawah. Karena begitu marah,
anaknya makan sebagian besar makanan di perjalanan, kemudian membawanya ke sawah
dengan hanya sedikit makanan. Ketika makanan diberikan kepada Toba, tentu saja ia terkejut
dan bertanya tentang hal itu kepada anaknya.

Toba was furious to learn that his son had eaten the food. He said that his son was a child
fish and his child came home while crying. His son complained to his wife and makes his
wife so furious.

Toba sangat marah mengetahui bahwa anaknya memakan makanan untuknya. Dia mengatakan
bahwa anaknya adalah ikan anak dan anaknya pulang sambil menangis. Anaknya mengeluh
kepada istrinya dan membuat istrinya sangat marah.

His wife was so angry and assumed that Toba had been violated the covenant. Although
Toba had begged so much, but his wife would not forgive him and went with his son to the
iver. The Wife and his son turned into a fish again.

Istrinya sangat marah dan diasumsikan bahwa Toba telah melanggar perjanjian. Meskipun Toba
telah memohon maaf berkali-kali, tetapi istrinya tidak akan memaafkannya dan pergi dengan
anaknya ke sungai. Istri dan anaknya berubah menjadi ikan lagi.
Instantly, the rain came in a very heavy and flushed Toba to sink. Heavy rains formed a
lake known as Toba Lake.

Seketika, hujan deras pun datang dan menenggelamkan Toba. Hujan lebat membentuk sebuah
danau yang dikenal sebagai Danau Toba.
 Keong Mas

Once upon a time, there was a couple living in a palace. They were Prince Raden Putra and
Dewi Limaran. Prince Raden Putras father was the king of the kingdom.

Pada suatu masa, ada pasangan yang tinggal di istana. Mereka adalah Pangeran Raden Putra
dan Dewi Limaran. Ayah Pangeran Raden Putra adalah raja di kerajaan tersebut.

One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw a
snail. It was ugly and disgusting.
Yuck! said Dewi Limaran and then she threw it away into a river.
She did not know that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch. She could
transform herself into anything. The witch was angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch put a
spell on her and changed her into a golden snail. The witch then threw it away into the
river.

Suatu hari, Dewi Limaran sedang berjalan-jalan di taman istana. Tiba-tiba dia melihat siput.
siput Itu jelek dan menjijikkan.
Yuck! kata Dewi Limaran dan kemudian dia membuangnya ke sungai.
Dia tidak tahu bahwa siput itu sebenarnya penyihir tua dan kuat. Dia bisa mengubah dirinya
menjadi apapun. Penyihir marah terhadap Dewi Limaran. Penyihir menempatkan mantra pada
dirinya dan mengubah dirinya menjadi keong mas. Penyihir kemudian membuangnya ke sungai.

The golden snail was drifting away in the river and got caught into a net. An old woman
was fishing and used her net to catch some fish. She was surprised to see a golden snail in
her net. She took it and brought it home. When the old woman woke up in the morning, she
was surprised that the house was in the good condition.

Keong mas yang hanyut jauh di sungai dan tertangkap dalam sebuah jaring. Seorang wanita tua
sedang memancing dan menggunakan jaringnya untuk menangkap ikan. Dia terkejut melihat
keong mas di jaring nya. Dia mengambilnya dan membawanya pulang. Ketika wanita tua itu
terbangun di pagi hari, dia terkejut bahwa rumah itu dalam kondisi baik.

The floor was mopped. And she also had food on the table. She was thinking very hard.
Who did this to me? The person is very kind. It happened again and again every
morning.
The old woman was very curious. One night she decided to stay up late. She was peeping
from her room to know who cooked for her. Then, she could not believe what she saw. The
golden snail she caught in the river turned into a beautiful woman. The old woman
approached her.

Lantai rumahnya telah bersih. Dan dia juga memiliki makanan di atas meja. Dia berpikir sangat
keras.
Siapa yang melakukan ini padaku? Orang itu sangat baik. Hal itu terjadi lagi dan lagi setiap
pagi.
Wanita tua itu sangat penasaran. Suatu malam dia memutuskan untuk tinggal sampai larut
malam. Dia mengintip dari kamarnya untuk tahu siapa yang memasak untuknya. Kemudian, ia
tidak bisa percaya apa yang dilihatnya. Keong mas yang dia tangkap di sungai berubah menjadi
wanita cantik. Wanita tua itu mendekatinya.

Who are you, young girl?

I am Dewi Limaran, Maam. A witch cursed me. I can change back as a human only at night,
explained Dewi Limaran.

The spell can be broken if I hear the melody from the holy gamelan, continued Dewi Limaran.

Siapa kau, gadis muda?

Saya Dewi Limaran, Mbok. Seorang penyihir telah mengutuk saya. Saya dapat berubah
kembali sebagai manusia hanya pada malam hari, jelas Dewi Limaran.
Mantra dapat rusak jika saya mendengar melodi dari gamelan suci, lanjut Dewi Limaran.

The old woman then rushed to the palace. She talked to Prince Raden Putra about her
wife.

Wanita tua itu kemudian bergegas ke istana. Dia berbicara dengan Pangeran Raden Putra
tentang istrinya.

Prince Raden Putra was so happy. He had been looking for his wife everywhere.

He then prayed and meditated. He asked the gods to give him the holy gamelan. He wanted to
break the witchs spell. After several days praying and meditating, finally gods granted his wish.
He immediately brought the holy gamelan to the old womans house. He played it beautifully.
And then amazingly the golden snail turned into the beautiful Dewi Limaran.

Pangeran Raden Putra sangat senang. Dia telah mencari istrinya di mana-mana.
Dia kemudian berdoa dan bermeditasi. Dia meminta para dewa untuk memberinya gamelan
suci. Dia ingin mematahkan mantra penyihir. Setelah beberapa hari berdoa dan bermeditasi,
akhirnya dewa mengabulkan keinginannya. Dia segera membawa gamelan suci ke rumah
wanita tua itu. Ia bermain dengan indah. Dan ajaibnya keong emas berubah menjadi Dewi
Limaran yang cantik.

The couple was so happy that they could be together again. They also thanked the old
woman for her kindness. As a return, they asked her to stay in the palace.

Pasangan itu sangat senang bahwa mereka bisa bersama lagi. Mereka juga mengucapkan
terima kasih kepada wanita tua itu untuk kebaikan-Nya. Sebagai imbalannya, mereka
memintanya untuk tinggal di istana.
 TIMUN MAS

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 giants 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

Pada zaman dahulu kala , tinggal seorang wanita tua bernama Mbok Sirni . Dia tinggal sendirian karena
suaminya sudah lama meninggal dan dia tidak punya anak . Setiap hari , dia berdoa agar Tuhan akan
memberinya seorang anak . Suatu malam , ketika ia sedang berdoa , raksasa melewati rumahnya dan
mendengar doa nya . Aku bisa memberimu seorang anak dengan satu syarat , kata raksasa kepada
Mbok Sirni , Anda harus memberikan anak kembali ke saya ketika berusia enam tahun . Mbok Sirni
sangat senang , dia tidak berpikir tentang risiko kehilangan anak kemudian dan setuju untuk mengambil
tawaran raksasa . Raksasa itu kemudian memberinya sekelompok biji mentimun . Tanamlah di sekitar
rumah Anda . Raksasa itu kemudian pergi tanpa mengatakan apa-apa lagi . Di pagi hari , Mbok Sirni
menanam benih . Benih tumbuh dalam beberapa hari saja, dan berkembang pesat . Tidak lama setelah
itu , mentimun emas besar tumbuh dari tanaman . Dengan Hati-hati , Mbok Sirni memetik mentimun
emas dan membawanya pulang . Dengan hati-hati dan perawatan , ia iris mentimun . Dia sangat terkejut
melihat seorang bayi perempuan cantik di dalam mentimun . Dia kemudian bernama bayi Timun Emas.

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.

Beberapa tahun pun berlalu dan Timun Emas telah tumbuh menjadi seorang gadis kecil yang lucu dan
cantik. Dia juga cerdas dan baik. Mbok Sirni sangat mencintainya. Tapi dia terus berpikir tentang waktu
raksasa akan mengambil Timun Emas darinya. Suatu malam, Mbok Sirni bermimpi. Untuk mengamankan
Timun Emas dari raksasa, dia harus bertemu orang suci yang tinggal di Gunung Gundul. Keesokan
paginya, Mbok Sirni meninggalkan Timun Emas untuk pergi ke Gunung Gundul. Orang suci kemudian
memberinya empat kantong kecil, masing-masing berisi biji mentimun, jarum, garam, dan terasi. Timun
Emas dapat menggunakan ini untuk melindungi dirinya sendiri, kata pria suci itu kepada 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.
Beberapa hari kemudian, raksasa datang untuk menemui dan menagih Mbok Sirni tentang janjinya.
Mbok Sirni! Dimana Timun Emas? Teriak raksasa. Putriku, bawalah tas ini bersamamu. ini dapat
menyelamatkan kamu dari raksasa. Sekarang, larilah melalui pintu belakang, kata Mbok Sirni. Tapi
raksasa melihat Timun Emas berlari ke hutan. Raksasa marah. Kelaparan dan marah, ia bergegas
menuju Timun Emas. Mbok Sirni mencoba untuk menghentikannya, tetapi raksasa itu tak terbendung.

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 giants body was scratched and bled.
Aaargh, Ill 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.

Raksasa itu semakin dekat dan lebih dekat, sehingga Timun Emas membuka tas pertama yang dia
dapatkan dari Mbok Sirni. Di dalam tas adalah biji mentimun. Dia melemparkan benih, dan langsung
mereka tumbuh menjadi kebun mentimun besar. Tapi raksasa makan mereka (mentimun) semua,
memberinya kekuatan lebih. Dan raksasa itu semakin dekat, Timun Emas mengambil kantong kedua
dengan berisi jarum di dalamnya dan menumpahkan jarum tersebut di belakangnya. Jarum berubah
menjadi pohon bambu, tajam dan berduri. Tubuh raksasa tergores dan berdarah. Aaargh, aku akan
menangkap Kamu, Timun Emas! Teriak raksasa saat ia mencoba untuk membuat dirinya keluar dari
kebun bambu. Dia berhasil dan masih mengejar 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

Timun Emas kemudian mencapai tas ketiga dan menumpahkan garam yang berada di dalamnya. Garam
yang menyentuh tanah berubah menjadi laut dalam. Raksasa itu hampir tenggelam dan harus berenang
untuk menyeberangi laut. Setelah beberapa waktu, dia berhasil keluar dari air. Timun Emas melihat
raksasa datang, jadi dia meraih tas terakhir. Dia mengambil terasi dan melemparkannya. Terasi tersebut
menjadi rawa besar dengan lumpur mendidih. Raksasa terjebak di tengah-tengah rawa. Lumpur memang
lambat tapi pasti akan menenggelamkannya. Tak berdaya, ia meraung keluar, Tolong! toooolooong !
Kemudian raksasa tersebut tenggelam dan mati disana. Timun Mas kemudian segera pulang ke rumah.
Sejak itu, Timun Emas Mbok Sirni dan hidup bahagia selamanya.

hewan-hewan yang tinggal, ada seekor kucing sombong yang sangat bersih, berbulu lebat dan
halus berwarna putih. Sehingga banyak hewan yang menyukainya, tapi ia terlalu angkuh dan
sombong dengan kelebihannya.

bertahan hidup sendiri tanpa bantuan keluarganya.

Didalam perjalanannya ia beristirahat berdekatan dengan keluarga ayam. Pada waktu pagi yang
cerah, kucing itu marah karena sang ayam telah membangunkan tidurnya, hai ayam, lancing
sekali kamu membangunkanku ditambah lagi dengan anak-anak mu yang jelek. Keluarga ayam
sangat marah, mereka mengusir kucing, dengan perasaan kesal kucing meninggalkan tempat itu.

tanpa sengaja gajah menjatuhkan kucing. hai kau gajah busuk, mengapa kau menjatuhkanku,
kau ingin membunuhku? gajah mendekat dan berkata oh..kau begitu cantik. Kucing mencakar
gajah, membuat gajah mengamuk sehingga kucing terpelanting olehnya.

Kucing sangat kesal dan lapar, ia mencoba mencari-cari makanan di dalam tanah ia brtemu
cacing. kau kucing yang cantik, tapi mengapa engkau mengambil makananku. Kucing berkata.
semua hewan mengetahui kecantikanku karena itu aku berhak melakukan sesukaku lalu cacing
berkata dasar kucing sombong, apa kau bisa bertahan hidup didalam tanah?. hahaha itu hal
