The Lion Guard: A Momentous Occasion

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Pridelanders were heading to Mizimu Grove to celebrate Kupatana.

Kion and Kiara were walking together.

“Who’s giving the contribution?” Kion asked.

“Nai Nai is.” Kiara answered.

When the Pridelanders reached Mizimu Grove,

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, my mother will now give a speech." He said.

He stepped aside, and Sarabi moved forward.

"As I observe all of you celebrating this wonderful occasion, I am grateful to have the pleasure of standing with those that I love most." Sarabi said.

She glanced at Simba.

"I am very proud to have the honor of caring for all that follow the Circle of Life." She said.

As the animals cheered, Simba stepped forward, and cleared his throat.

"I believe the celebration can begin." He said.

Rafiki stepped forward, and waved his staff.

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

Kion leaned against Kiara's foreleg.

"I love Nai Nai." He said.

Kiara's expression softened.

"Everyone does." She said warmly.
