"I'm about to give birth, it hurts!"
The Queen of the Pride, Uru, was giving birth to a little cub. Ahadi was alarmed when he heard his Queen roaring his name from inside the den of Pride Rock. He was excited to have a heir to the throne. His loyal, baboon friend, Hikmat. Hikmat was the only one who could deliver the cub. An hour later, a beautiful cub was born.
"Look your majesties, you have a prince to love and care for."
"He has my eyes, Ahadi."
"He has my fur."
"I would like to all him Mufasa because it means King. It'll give him self - confidence and power."
"Uru, I love it. The next time you have a child, I'm naming him."
"No need to be rude but, we should get ready for the royal announcement."
"Do your thing Hikmat. Uru you gather up the lionesses while I clean up our handsome prince."
"Ok sweetie. Girls gather round! I have given birth to a Prince named Mufasa. It's time for the royal announcement."
Ahadi went to the pond, behind the rock to wash his first son. He started singing a song Uru said her Dad sung to her when she was younger. It was a relaxing song with a soft rhythm. It went something like this.
"My proud child of Pride Rock, you will feel safe with us. Your Mummy loves you very much and Daddy loves you too. You will one day be a great, proud lion, you are my son and I will never let you down."
Uru heard him and joined him by the pound. Her voice like a gentle lioness, her voice going well with her Kings sweet voice.
"It doesn't matter what you are, you are royalty. You are our child, from now 'til eternity."
"Excuse me your highnesses, the animals are here. Also your voices go well in perfect harmony."
"Thank you for the compliment Hikmat. We'll be there right away. Come on Uru. Get Mufasa."
Uru carried Mufasa up to the peak of Pride rock as her Dad, Mohatu, watches proudly at his ownly child, witnesses her first child's announcement. The entire animal kingdom goes wild for the cub that will one day take Ahadi's place. Mohatu shines a ray of light on Mufasa and everyone knows it's time to bow down to the prince. Hikmat brings Mufasa down and marks Mufasa as prince so no harm will come to him. Ahadi and Uru look proudly at their child and take him into the den and sleep.
One 9 months later.
"This cub is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!"
Uru has given birth again. To another prince with Ahadi's eyes and Uru's fur. He looked scruffy and Ahadi did not approve.
"Ahadi, he's your son. He has only just been born."
"He will be named Taka. It means garbage. Hikmat, get the announcement over and done with."
The announcement ends.
"No one will harm you as long as I like, Taka."
"Mama. Mama. My little brother. Dad was right."
"What has your father said now?"
"He is ugly and boy was he right."
"Mufasa!. He's only a few hours old. Don't bully him."
"Ugh. Fine."
Mufasa leaves but turns around and says.
"Admit it Mum. It's ugly."
"Mufasa!"
He runs away and bumps into his Dad along the way, at the bottom of Pride Rock.
"Hey Dad."
"There's my boy. Where are of to?"
"I'm gonna go see Sarabi and see if she and Sarafina wants to come play with me and Berko."
"Have you met your brother?"
"Is he even my brother? He looks like a wet palm leaf."
"I don't approve of him either. The only reason I'm not giving him away because your Mother loves him so much."
"I won't tell Mother you said that."
"Now you go and have fun. Tell your friends I said hi."
"Thanks Dad. Bye."
"Where's Mufasa going?"
"He's meeting up with his friends. Where's the little brat?"
"Stop talking about Taka like that. He's only a few hours old. You're gonna have too live with him."
"I'm gonna take a nap."
"Good. Ahadi, you're a jerk."
Uru slumped on the floor and cried herself to sleep.
