The Lion Guard: A Memorable Celebration

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Pridelanders were heading towards Mizimu Grove to celebrate Kupatana.

Kion and Kiara were walking together.

"Isn't Dad giving the contribution?" Kion asked.

Kiara nodded.

When the Pridelanders arrived at Mizimu Grove, Kion and his family settled down on the ledge.

The Pridelanders and inhabitants of the kingdom arranged themselves below them.

Simba stepped forward.

"Today, I shall give a speech." Simba said.

He cleared his throat.

"It is a great pleasure to protect all that follow and respect the Circle of Life." Simba said.

He glanced at Kion.

"I am proud to continue ruling over all of you for many seasons." He said.

As the animals cheered, Rafiki stepped forward, and waved his staff.

The Pridelanders and animals of the kingdom watched the baobab flowers bloom.

Kion leaned against Simba's foreleg.

"That was wonderful, Dad." He said.

"Thank you, son." Simba said.

He knelt down, and nuzzled Kion’s cheek.

“Happy Kupatana, Kion.” Simba said.

“Happy Kupatana, Dad.” Kion said.

Simba rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you, Kion.” Simba said.

“I love you too” Kion answered.
