"Don't let anyone know that I am a fish," said the goldfish incarnation daughter.

The young man also agreed to the terms of the goldfish daughter. They both got married and lived happily.

Several years after marriage, the goldfish daughter gave birth to a boy who was named Toba. They both educated their son with great affection. But unfortunately, that child grew up to be a naughty child. He always made his father angry.

One hot afternoon, the father was working in the fields. The goldfish princess has already cooked a lot of food. He also asked his son to take the food to the fields.

"Very well, Mother. I will deliver food." replied the child.

On the way, the child's stomach rumbled. He also glanced at the basket he was carrying.

"Ah, I just eat this food," said the child.

Olala, the child finished food for his father without leftovers. Then, he led the empty basket to the field.

In the fields, you can see the father is tired. Sweat ran down his forehead. His stomach feels empty, because he hasn't eaten all day. As soon as the child arrives, he welcomes the basket brought by the child.

But, how angry his father was when he saw that the basket was empty.

"I'm hungry, Father. That's why I eat all that food, "explained the child.

The father became very angry. He also forgot his promise.

"Seriously, you fish boy! I'm working hard to support you, but is this your way back ?! ” snapped the father.

Hearing his father's anger, the son felt sad. He also ran back to the house and told everything to his mother. His mother was sorry.

Suddenly, black clouds filled the sky. Heavy rain accompanied by lightning fell. The river around the house overflowed and flooded the house, until it became a lake.

The goldfish daughter and her child vanished in the flood. While the father can only regret his actions. As a result of his anger, he lost his wife and child.
