wrestle in the land just become a farmer, but he also used to go fishing
on his farm after the activity is complete. He was very lucky in
fishing and eating fish with ease him get. This happens because the
river water is still very clear, other than that the amount of fish that
is very abundant. The results he got from the river was taken home to
be eaten as a side dish.
But there are strange things happening, one day precisely afternoon he
went again to the river for fishing. Over time, none of the fish caught
in the hook successful when dark day. This seemed odd because it was the
first time he failed in that river fishing. Because of the time it gets
dark it is not possible to provoke the resentment that churned in his
heart he took the decision to return home without bringing any one fish
tail. However, when Toba will pull the bait out of the river, fishing
was suddenly struck by the fish. Therefore, the fishing that Toba was
interested powerful hold up to the middle of the river. Toba was

conquered rod can fish from a very strong force, shown a fish with a
rather large size and floundered at the end of the rope pole. The fish
was quickly Toba pull ashore so that the fish can not be separated
again. Smiling happily, her eyes off his line from the mouth of the
fish. When toba will try to take your eyes off his line, there is a very
full sense of the fish eye. Toba directly save the fish in a safe place
so as not to come off and there will be no one can steal it fishing rod
results. After that, Toba cleanse the body into the river.
