"Mother! Mother! You said we can go hunting!" Maliki yelled at his mother, Watafanya. "I didn't I." Maliki's mother said, giggling. "C'mon!" Let's go!" Maliki was an impatient cub. "Let's go," said Watafanya, You see, ever since Maliki's father died Watafanya has to take care of Maliki and rule the Hodari pride. As they walked through the grass to go hunting they ran into Mshtuko, A young jackal younger than Maliki.

"MshTuko! It's been so long!" Maliki said, running up to her. "Hi, Maliki!"Mshtuko said, excitingly. "Mom can stay her?!" Maliki asked. "But I thought you wanted to go hunting. But yes you can" "Thanks, Mom!" Watafanya giggled and walked away with other lionesses. "What are we going to do?" Maliki asked Mshtuko. "Were going to visit Kimbia!" Kimbia was a lioness cub from the neighbor pride.

Just then rain drops fell, then more and more. They fell down harder and harder. Then lightning struck. "It's going to storm!"

Mshtuko was scared to death.

"See what?" Maliki asked confusingly. When the got to the Hodari cave Watafanya walked out, with anger on her face. "Where were you?! It's storming! And look at your paws! That'll take forever to clean up!" Maliki looked at Mshtuko with the "I told you so face" "I'm sorry mother" Maliki apologized. Mshtuko when inside the den "Come on, let's get to sleep."

After a month, it was a year since Maliki was born. The whole Pride celebrated. Mshtuko and Maliki were at the lake. "Should we go visit Kimbia?" Mshtuko asked, "Yeah" Maliki and Mshtuko made it to Kimbia's Pride. They were greeted with kindness. They went to Kimbia's mother and asked her where Kimbia was. "She's at the lake" She replied.

Maliki and Mshtuko ran to go find Kimbia. "Hi Kimbia!" Mshtuko said when she saw Kimbia. " Hi guys" Kimbia said, crying. " Whats wrong?" Maliki asked. "Mother didn't tell you?" Kimbia asked. "Nope, she didn't" Maliki said. "Father d-died" Kimbia spit out
