The Lion Guard: A Special Celebration

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Pridelanders were heading to Mizimu Grove to celebrate Kupatana.

Kion and Kiara were walking together.

“Dad’s giving the contribution.” Kion said.

“I know.” Kiara said.

When they arrived, Kion and his family arranged themselves on the ledge.

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

Simba stepped forward.

“As the royal contribution, I will now give a speech.” He said.

He cleared his throat.

“Many seasons ago, I became the ruler of a wonderful community of animals. I am proud to have the opportunity to protect and care for all that follow the Circle of Life.” Simba said.

He glanced behind him at Kion.

“I hope to have this honor for many seasons to come.” Simba said.

The animals cheered, and Rafiki waved his staff.

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

Kion leaned against Simba’s foreleg.

“I love you.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Simba said warmly.
