Background: Rafiki is living in "his tree" and is trying to break open a fruit. He grunts and bangs the fruit on a branch. He then looks at the camera.

Rafiki: "Aw, well hello there."
He throws the fruit that was in his hand to the back of him; disappearing in the distance.
"What's that? You have come to see me? For what?"
He then puts his left hand over his left ear.
"Was there a cub born before princess Kiara?"
He then looks at the camera surprise then anger as if you did something wrong.
"Who told you! Hmm?"
He pauses for a moment.
"Rumors eh? Well, I'm not going to say if it's true or not. Besides you do not need to know."
The camera acts as if  it was begging Rafiki.
"Oh alright, but do not tell anyone. Ok? Because if you do the king might get my head."
Rafiki laughs as if it was a joking matter then realizes it might be real and stops.
"Alright, follow me."
The camera follows Rafiki as the tree's branches seem to make the place look darker. He stops and shows the paintings he did long ago on the wooden stump.
"Sit down, and relax but do not fall asleep! Or else Rafiki won't like it. Anyways..."
He points to a painting of a cub similar to when Simba was a cub but with a reddish-brown tuft on his head.

Rafiki: "Long ago, when the sun was slowly rising among the horizon."
It blended the sky with a shade of pink, red, orange and yellow glistering along the water in the dark morning sky. Camera points at the many animals whom seem to follow each other east to Pride Rock.
  "Animals coming to Pride Rock. A cub was born."
The camera zooms into Pride Rock then at Rafiki, (in the past)holding a cub. Simba and Nala are to the right next to each other. Zazu in front of Simba and Nala. Timon and Pumbaa are to the side of Simbas right shoulder(Timon is in front of Pumbaa);all look pleased.
"You see, this story I am about to tell you was way before Princess Kiara was born. In fact, this story has been forgotten and forbidden to speak of."
The scene grows dark until you see black for a second.

Kopa: "Dad wake up! It's almost sunrise!"
Simba: "Just a few more minutes ok?"
Kopa: "Daaaaaaad! (says drastically) Come on we might miss it again!" 
Simba turns his face towards where Nala was laying down.
Kopa: "Daaaaaaaad!" (Drastically shouts once more)
Kopa nudges his head towards Simba's head.
Kopa: "But you promised."
Simba wakes up.Kopa looks at Simba in a mad look.
Simba: "Ok, ok let's go." (Wakes up and yawns)
Background: Kopa rushed and ran out of the den to see the sunset. As Simba wakes up he licks Nala and follows Kopa out of the den.
Kopa: "Come on dad, hurry up you'll miss it!" (Says urgently)
Simba: "Ok, ok I'm coming, I'm coming."
Background: Simba and Kopa sat down to watch the sun rise slowly from the sky. Sat down at the end point of the bridge at Pride Rock.
Kopa: "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Simba: "Yes, I believe it's very beautiful. I use to do this with my father when I was your age."
Kopa: "Really? You did?"
Simba: "Yes Kopa, you see my father and I loved to examine the sky, day and night because he said it reminded us of our ancestors long ago."
Kopa: "Huh?" (Act confused)
Simba: "Look around you Kopa, soon this whole land you see,will be yours, and then the circle of life will continue once again."
Kopa: "What's the circle of life? What do you mean dad?"
Simba: "Well, son it means that when we die are body becomes the grass, and the one who eats the grass are the antelopes and so we are all connected to the circle of life."
Kopa: "Oh."
Simba: "Now let's start heading to the den before your mother gets worried and sends Zazu over to find us."
Kopa: (giggles/laughs) "Yeah."
Background: Both head back towards den.
