I started pouncing lessons today! My mom says that someday I'll be a great huntress. I think I would like that. It makes me kind of sorry for Simba; he won't be trained to hunt as much as I will. But he will be King someday, so I guess we're even. I also met the most annoying animal on the Savanah. It's a little hornbill named Zazu. He's Mufasa's steward. Oh, and that's another thing; the King has a name! I didn't think kings had names. Zazu laughed when. I told him that. It made me want to eat him. He said that all Kings have had names, from the first until now. Simba told me that Mufasa sends Zazu to cubsit him. Great. Zazu is a nosy, prideful, loud hornbill. But Simba is nice enough, so we'll just have to figure out how to get away from Zazu.
I am Nala.
