The Pride Rock Part 4: Pride Lands
Part 4: Pride Lands
It is very bright. My eyes have already adjusted to dark cave. Nevertheless i am excited to see,what Pride Lands look like.
From the Pride Rock, there's a great view to the savannah below. I have never seen anything like this before.
" Beautiful isn't it?" Simba asks
" Sensational!"i answer.
Everywhere i looked i saw green: trees,grass, mountains... view was absolutely stunning. Except one place. I didn't saw anything green there, only gray rock.
" What is that place at north?" i ask
" Aah i wonder when you would ask. The northen border." Simba sighs.
" I will tell you later, but i warn you. That place is very
dangerous and do your best to not end up there."
" I understand" i reply.
" Good, but let me show you the other parts of Pride Lands."
Simba smiles.
And so Simba started our "tour." He showed me rest of the Pride Rock, the canyon, savannah, and then we stopped to the waterhole.
" This is the waterhole." Simba introduces.
" Can we have a little break? I m somewhat thirsty." i ask
" Ofcourse, drink as much as you can!" he laughs.
" Thankyou"
When i start drinking i see something moving in the nearby bush. I look behind me, if Simba saw something but he wasn't even looking that direction.
I decide to look the bush more closely. Something moves there again. I think i see a snout. I move slowly more close to the bush.
And then i yell: "BOOO!"
" Aaargh!" a warthog shouts. A meerkat seems to be
riding with the warthog. Warthog runs to Simba.
" Simba, Simba! There's a predator stalking us!" warthog yells. Meerkat adds: "yeah and he is standing right
there." meerkat points me.
" Me?" i ask astonishly.
" Yeah you! I bet you tried to eat me!" meerkat yells.
" What about me?" warthog asks.
" You are too big for him! You would take time to
eat, but he could swallow me in an instant!" meerkat yells.
" Timon, Pumba calm down. He isn't a predator.
He is a guest" Simba calms them.
" Jake, Timon, Pumba"
" Timon, Pumba, Jake." Simba introduces us.
" So... are you sure that he won't eat us?" Timon asks
" Absolutely sure, right Jake?" Simba winks.
" You can count on me." i assure them.
" Pumba, i think we can trust him. How about you? Timon asks
" Yeaah, he don't seem to have claws or anything. I say he is friendly."Pumba replies
" Where are you going?" Timon wants to know.
" Simba shows me the Pride Lands." i reply.
" Do you want to join us?" asks Simba
" Nääh, no thanks." Timon replies.
" Bye then." Simba says and starts to leave.
" See you around" i say.
" You have showed me everything... except the northe border." i remember.
" Do you really have to know what's in there?"
" Yes, if i don't, i don't know why i can't go there."
*Sigh* "ok i take you there" Simba finally agrees
" But be cautious. That place is usually full of hyenas." Simba warns me"
" I understand. Lets get going." i say.
And so he leads us to the northen border. More we come closer to it, i see less plants and more rock. No hope in that place.
" We have arrived." Simba says.
" What is this place?" i ask
" It's a graveyard. An elephant graveyard."
" Can we go any further?"
" Yes we can, but i suggest we don't"
But then we hear dreary laugh.
" Simba, Simba, Simba... you have lowered your defence." voice mocks.
" Shenzi, i should have known you are stalking us." Simba responds
" You are getting old Simba, or what you think Banzai?"
The other hyena shows himself.
" Definitely."
" Ed?" they call him.
This crazy hyena comes up. He laughs all the time.
" What's wrong in him?" i ask
" No one knows." Banzai replies.
Shenzi adds:"he has always been like that."
" Uggh, he reminds me of my friend." i say.
" To the main point already! What are you doing in our
territory?" Shenzi
" It's my fault. I wanted to know what this place is." i say.
" You will find out. Trough pain... human."
