Di wilayah Sumatera hiduplah seorang petani yang sangat rajin bekerja. Ia hidup sendiri sebatang kara. Setiap hari ia bekerja menggarap ladang dan mencari ikan dengan tidak mengenal lelah. Hal ini dilakukannya untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya sehari-hari.

Pada suatu hari petani tersebut pergi ke sungai di dekat tempat tinggalnya, ia bermaksud mencari ikan untuk lauknya hari ini. Dengan hanya berbekal sebuah kail, umpan dan tempat ikan, ia pun langsung menuju ke sungai. Setelah sesampainya di sungai, petani tersebut langsung melemparkan kailnya. Sambil menunggu kailnya dimakan ikan, petani tersebut berdoa,“Ya Tuhan, semoga aku dapat ikan banyak hari ini”. Beberapa saat setelah berdoa, kail yang dilemparkannya tadi nampak bergoyang-goyang. Ia segera menarik kailnya. Petani tersebut sangat senang sekali, karena ikan yang didapatkannya sangat besar dan cantik sekali.

Setelah beberapa saat memandangi ikan hasil tangkapannya, petani itu sangat terkejut. Ternyata ikan yang ditangkapnya itu bisa berbicara. “Tolong aku jangan dimakan Pak!! Biarkan aku hidup”, teriak ikan itu. Tanpa banyak Tanya, ikan tangkapannya itu langsung dikembalikan ke dalam air lagi. Setelah mengembalikan ikan ke dalam air, petani itu bertambah terkejut, karena tiba-tiba ikan tersebut berubah menjadi seorang wanita yang sangat cantik.
