- A long time ago, in North Sumatra, there lived a poor young man in a valley named Batara Guru Sahala. He had no parents, but the valley was beautiful, and anything he planted there grew wonderfully. He lived by farming and fishing in the river near his home. One afternoon, after working hard in the fields, he went fishing in the river. Today was not his day, though, and after hours of waiting, he still hadn't caught a single fish.
- What's happening! No fish! This had never happened before!
- W-what??! You can talk?!!
- Disappointed, he pulled his rod out of the water. But just as his rod was leaving the water, a fish bit it. He pulled it out, and was very happy to see a pretty little goldfish on the end of the rod. He was so shocked because suddenly the goldfish talk.
