Broken promise

Kopa, the prince of Pride Rock, is playing with his friend, Pimbi, when he remembers that his father, Simba, had promised to take him to the height of Pride Rock that morning time. Afterwards delivering a quick goodbye to Pimbi, Kopa hastens to Pride Rock, where he is greeted past his mother, Nala. Presently into their conversation, they are disrupted past the arrival of Simba and two of his loyal helpers, Rafiki and Zazu.

Nala explains to Kopa that at that place has been another disruption at the water pigsty, simply Kopa ignores her and premises over to Simba, declaring that he is ready to visit the tiptop. To Kopa's thwarting, Simba explains that he must deal with the crisis at the water hole outset. Disappointed, Kopa laments his father's broken hope. When Simba attempts to go Rafiki's back up for the conclusion, Rafiki unexpectedly sides with Kopa and explains that many kingdoms have suffered from broken promises. Simba starts to protest, but Rafiki interrupts him and begins a tale most Simba's begetter, Mufasa, and his evil uncle, Scar.

Rafiki saved

Long ago, Rafiki was a wanderer who happened across the kingdom of the Pride Lands. He arrived during a severe drought and was brash to rest in the shade of Five Stones past Zuzu the hornbill. There, he was attacked past three hyenas, but rescued by the rex of Pride Rock, Ahadi, and his two sons, Mufasa and Taka. Ahadi questioned Rafiki on his business in the Pride Lands, and Rafiki explained that he was seeking cognition. Intrigued, Ahadi invited Rafiki to come to Pride Rock and hash out the kingdom's troubles with him.

Rafiki is attacked by the hyena trio at Five Stones

Together, Rafiki and the royal family journeyed to Pride Rock, where Ahadi and Rafiki discussed the kingdom's problems for many hours. When dark at last barbarous, Rafiki was invited to spend the night with the pride. He accepted, choosing to slumber next to Ahadi'south eldest son, Mufasa. The two discussed the spirits of one-time, and Mufasa revealed that his brother, Taka, did not get forth well with their father.

Somewhen, the two said good dark and settled downwards for sleep, but Rafiki was awoken by a rustling in the leaves, which turned out to be a cobra. Mufasa awoke and started to rise, simply Rafiki ordered him to stay withal and began to speak to the cobra, telling it that they were brothers and in harmony with all living creatures. The ophidian relaxed and slithered away, much to Mufasa'due south daze, and Rafiki explained that he had learned the art of snake-taming from a baboon in his homeland of Grass Walls.

With the danger abated, the two went back to sleep, though Rafiki suspected that Taka had purposefully planted the snake on their ledge.

A purple crisis

The adjacent forenoon, Rafiki sat down to eat breakfast at the top of a tall tree. In the midst of his meal, he spotted the same 3 hyenas who had attacked him before – Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed – gathering together at the base of the tree. Unaware of their audition, the three complained about Ahadi's kingship and plotted to depose him and his heir, Mufasa, from the throne.

Ahadi attempts to calm a oversupply of disgruntled Pride Landers

One time the hyenas wandered off, Rafiki hastened to warn Ahadi of the danger simply constitute that the king was occupied with a crowd of disgruntled Pride Landers, who were complaining almost the shortage of nutrient and water, and the constant threat posed by the hyenas. In order to calm the crowd, Ahadi promised to deal with the hyenas, but Taka interrupted, reminding his begetter that he had promised to take his sons hunting that morning.

Ahadi regretfully informed Taka that the hunting trip would take to wait, to which Taka asserted that his father was always valuing his duties as rex over his family. Ahadi explained that beingness rex meant taking on certain responsibilities and that Mufasa seemed to sympathize this. Distraught, Taka accused Ahadi of favoring Mufasa.

Before Ahadi could offering a defense, the Pride Landers interrupted, arguing that the throne was less important than their current situation. Ahadi agreed, and then pleaded with Taka to understand. At first, Taka continued to accuse his father of having broken his promise, only he quickly changed his mood and asked Mufasa to come hunting with him instead. Though Mufasa responded positively, Rafiki suspected Taka of having sinister intentions.

Simply so, Zuzu joined Rafiki and commented that she had been aware of the kingdom's many problems before they had come up to Ahadi'south attending. Rafiki thought to himself that she could prove of use to the Pride Lands.

Taka's plot

Before parting for the hunt, Taka told Mufasa that he had something to do first. A suspicious Rafiki decided to follow him and witnessed him meeting with Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed at a dry water hole. Taka warned the hyenas that his father was searching for them, and they questioned him as to why he was non out hunting with Ahadi and Mufasa. Stiffly, Taka explained that plans had been changed, and the hyenas suggested that he make Mufasa look bad so that Ahadi will stop playing favorites with his sons. Intrigued, Taka agreed, and he promised to deliver the hyenas leftovers from his hunt for their help.

As Taka watches from the sidelines, Mufasa attempts to convince Boma to share his water pigsty

As Taka departed, Rafiki followed him, only along the style, he roughshod from a tall tree and blacked out. When he came to, Zuzu was there to help him to his feet and notify him of where Ahadi and his sons were. In a panic, Rafiki ordered Zuzu to fetch Ahadi while he stopped Taka from bringing Mufasa to damage. Zuzu departed at once, and Rafiki followed Mufasa and Taka'southward scents to where a cape buffalo named Boma was standing belly-deep in a puddle of water. Though Taka was nowhere to be seen, Mufasa was charily approaching the cape buffalo.

Rafiki asked Mufasa what he was doing, and Mufasa explained that if he could convince Boma to share his water pigsty, the other Pride Landers would exist greatly helped. Earlier Rafiki could stop him, Mufasa told Boma that he must share his water pigsty with the other animals until the rains come again. Just then, Taka approached Boma and roared, proclaiming that Boma must either share his water hole or face up Mufasa in combat. Furious, Boma charged Mufasa, and Rafiki urged the young prince to run.

Together, Mufasa and Rafiki fled Boma, simply Rafiki soon began to slow, and Mufasa ordered him to climb onto his back. Rafiki did as he was told, and Mufasa jumped a nearby ravine, carrying himself and his accuse to condom. Boma overlooked the jump and roughshod with a crash into the ravine, from where he began to threaten Mufasa for what he had done and promise that Taka would come to harm likewise. At Boma's words, Mufasa realized that Taka was existence attacked by the other cape buffalo in Boma'southward herd, and he bravely threw himself betwixt the herd and his severely injured blood brother.

A new era

Simply then, Ahadi arrived at the head of a herd of Pride Landers and rebuked the cape buffalo for attacking his sons. With the assist of an elephant, Ahadi bore an unconscious Taka back to Pride Stone, where he recovered under Rafiki'southward care. Once healed, Taka was chastised by his father, who told him that the scar he had earned would serve every bit a reminder of his recklessness. Mufasa questioned his brother as to why he had angered Boma, and Taka admitted that he had wanted to embarrass Mufasa and get even with Ahadi for breaking his promise.

Ahadi welcomes Rafiki as his new majestic adviser

Ahadi reminded Taka that instead of pain his family, he had nearly gotten himself killed. He and so encouraged Taka to rid himself of his anger and let his wound serve as a reminder of his mistakes. Though at first angry, Taka relented and asked to be called "Scar" from then on.

With Taka healed, Ahadi met with Mufasa, Rafiki, and Zuzu on the peak of Pride Rock and revealed that Boma'due south herd had agreed to share their water with the kingdom. Despite the skilful news, Ahadi lamented his disability to conceptualize crises. Rafiki suggested that Ahadi appoint an "eyes and ears" of the kingdom. Ahadi wondered who would all-time fit the job, and Rafiki suggested Zuzu. The hornbill gladly accepted the position, and Ahadi appointed her family to exist stewards to the monarchs of the Pride Lands.

Later on appointing Zuzu, Ahadi asked Rafiki to exist his teacher, and Rafiki gladly accepted, with the status that he could go on personal quests from time to time. Happy to oblige, Ahadi welcomed Rafiki every bit his newest follower and alleged that a new era was beginning for the Pride Lands.
