Simba and I found a flying leaf today. At least, we thought it was a leaf. It was on a branch of a tree. Zazu said something about it being an acacia tree. Then the leaf opened! It wasn't just brown, it had blue in it! Simba tried to touch it, and it flew away. I had heard of butterflies, but I'd never seen one before. Now Simba was chasing it, and Zazu was yelling at him to come back. I followed Simba, just in time to see him fall straight into the water hole! He came up looking like a drowned meerkat! I laughed, and he tried to pounce on me. I pinned him. Again. Then we both laughed.
I am Nala.
