Chapter 3: Cubs Unite!
Two days later, Sarafina, Nala's mother, had one last cub before she
died.
The pride was so sad, but Nala knew she had to raise her mother's cub.
Besides, then Gober would have a friend.
The minute the two cubs saw each other, they started to play and lick
each other. Simba and Nala smiled at each other.
"We'd better get these two something to eat!" Simba said.
After the baby cubs were fed, they went to bed.
Days and weeks passed. Gober and Siyana grew strong. One day, they both
went romping in the fields. They pounced on each other and had lots of
fun. Nala and Simba had told them to stay away from "Antelope Gorge."
But that's exactly where Gober and Siyana went. They play-fought and
Gober accidentally pounced him and Siyana right down the huge gorge. The
cubs clung to each other for dear life and they somersaulted down the
gorge.
"Help me!" shouted Siyana.
"Hold on to me just a little longer!" Gober said.
Finally, they both flung apart and the bottom. When Gober recovered, he
quickly scrambled to his feet and rushed over to Siyana.
She lay there, still.
Gober nudged her and licked her.
She started to open her eyes and get up.
"Are you OK?" asked Gober.
"I'm fine, thanks for saving me!"
"Always, now come on! Let's go explore this place!" said Gober.
Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound. A stampede of leopards was coming
right at them!
Gober leapt onto a rocky ledge and Siyana scrambled up a tree. They both
started yelling for help.
Back at Pride Rock, Simba and Nala heard the cries for help and rushed
over to the edge of the gorge. They gasped when they saw their cubs in
grave danger.
Suddenly, Siyana's tree branch was knocked down by a leopard. She
screamed, and Gober was breathless. He started to slip off his ledge.
That's when Simba swooped down and picked up Gober.
Then Nala leaped into the stampede and scooped up Siyana.
Then Simba and Nala made their way up to the top.
When they got to the top, Simba and Nala asked Gober and Siyana if they
were alright.
They were a little woozy and mostly scared, so Simba and Nala took them
to a shady spot near the water hole. They rested there for awhile, and
when they were better, Simba and Nala talked to their cubs separately.
Simba took Gober into the prairie fields and Nala took Siyana to the
water hole.
Simba gently laid Gober down on the soft grass. Then he looked down at
Gober.
"Gober, why did you go down that dangerous gorge? You could've been
killed!"
"It was an accident! Siyana and I accidentally pounced our way down
there," explained Gober.
"Oh I see. But do you know that was the place I almost got killed? I
didn't want the same thing to happen to you."
"Really?" asked Gober.
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, Dad," Gober said teary.
"That's all right. I'm just glad you're safe!" Simba and Gober headed
back to Pride Rock.
Meanwhile, Nala was talking to Siyana by the waterhole.
"Siyana, why would you be in the gorge in the first place?" Nala asked.
"We accidentally rolled down there when we were playing, and decided to
explore. We didn't know!" Siyana said teary.
Nala scooped her up on her lap and hugged her. "I'm just glad you're
safe! You know you're so special to me, because I have to raise you
because our mother died."
"Nala?"
"Yes Siyana?"
"Can we do something fun tomorrow?"
"Of course we can!" said Nala.
Then they went to find Gober and Simba.
Later that night, they all went stargazing in the fields. Simba and Nala
explained to their cubs about the great kings of the past. They hugged
their cubs tightly. Gober and Siyana smiled at each other. Then they
all went back into the den.
The next day, Simba and Gober got up early to go romp in the fields
together. They were laughing and playing, until out of the bushes popped
a snarling, wild boar!
Simba was scared, just like Gober, but he knew he had to be brave.
Besides, he couldn't let it hurt Gober!
The wild bor licked its chops at Gober, but Simba leapt in front of Gober
and told him it would be all right. Then he growled and showed his teeth
to the bor. Then he swiped his paw across its face.
"Get out and never let me see you lay a hoof on my son ever!" Simba
yelled.
The bor limped away, and Simba decided it would be safer back in the
cave.
Simba told Nala about what happened. They decided to keep their cubs
with them at all times, until the Pride Lands were safe again. Gober and
Siyana ran to the top of Pride Rock and looked out at the kingdom that
would someday be theirs.
