The Lion King Storybook

  Time passed. In the carefree company of his new friends, Simba grew from a cub into a young lion. One day, as Simba was wandering through the jungle, he heard his friends shouting for help. Simba hurried toward the sound. Pumbaa was caught beneath an exposed root, and Timon was trying to protect him from a hungry young lioness. As she leapt for Pumbaa, Simba threw himself forward and knocked the lioness aside. For a moment they rolled and tussled. Then the lioness pinned Simba to the ground and stared at him. She was Nala, and she slowly recognized that he was Simba! Simba laughed at his puzzled friends and introduced them to Nala.
