Pumbaa's Choice:
(Setting = under a tree with worms poking their heads out from the ground)
Reader: Hey Pumbaa. Eating grubs?
Pumbaa: Couldn't live without them. Literally.
Reader: Before you ask, I don't really want any.
Pumbaa: I'm not surprised. Not a lot of people around here like to eat bugs. Why is that?
Reader: I don't know. A lot of people don't like bugs in the first place, and at least if you eat the meat of a big animal, you're not actually eating the whole animal. You know, its eyes, its body organs, all that kind of stuff. I guess it just grosses most people out.
Pumbaa: But they taste delicious! Simba liked them.
Reader: Eventually.
Pumbaa: No, he loved them from the start. The problem was that Timon started him off with the slimy ones, it's the crunchier ones that taste better. They don't have as much flavor but the slimy ones are over-flavored, they're too tangy and the aftertaste sticks in your mouth.
Reader: But yet crunchy grubs taste nice?
Pumbaa: Yeah!
Reader: So why are you eating worms?
Pumbaa: Well they're an exception. When you get a worm with a crunchy bug and eat them both at the same time, there's nothing better. Course . . . it's not all good.
Reader: Well why no—oh my goodness! What is that smell?
Pumbaa: Sorry.
Reader: Is that why it's not all good?
Pumbaa: Yeah, it's chased all my friends away in the past.
Reader: Well I'm sorry to hear that but I . . . eh . . . I need to get a move on.
Pumbaa: Okay . . . well I'm just going to keep eating worms.
Reader: See you later.
Pumbaa: Bye.
