[00:00:07.170]Hello everyone
[00:00:09.800]I will tell you this story
[00:00:11.370]of the King Lion, Simba
[00:00:15.490]You know, Simba wasn't always the King of the jungle.
[00:00:20.890]It was Dankélé, a large black buffalo.
[00:00:28.660]King Dankélé was a tyrant.
[00:00:31.190]The king would rule
[00:00:32.810]without fair laws.
[00:00:35.541]At that time,
[00:00:36.881]there was only one river that all the animals came to drink from.
[00:00:42.230]But, it was a lot of wait.
[00:00:45.410]Dankele was not content only to
[00:00:48.877]quench his first thirst in the river.
[00:00:52.980]All animals, they ran and
[00:00:54.924]couldn't wait to drink in the river too.
[00:00:57.730]It was only after him, that
[00:01:00.465]the others could wait.
[00:01:03.990]Already, many saw this was unfair.
[00:01:11.780]but when a mothers lioness said
[00:01:14.211]she could not wait
[00:01:15.636]for the arrival of the king
[00:01:17.551]A new lion baby called, Simba,
[00:01:21.076]was so frustrated.
[00:01:23.140]so she gave him water to drink
[00:01:25.895]a little.
[00:01:27.650]But when King Dankélé arrived,
[00:01:30.326]All the animals were nervous.
[00:01:33.410]But they praised and sang him a song
[00:01:37.180]"King Buffalo,
[00:01:38.570]"You are greater than Sundianta.
[00:01:41.716]You are greater than Da Monzon.
[00:01:43.777]You are greater than Alexander the Great.
[00:01:47.398]Oh King Dankele."
[00:01:51.020][Dankélé] saw someone drank before him
[00:01:55.183]He turned to his people
[00:01:56.649]and threatened them
[00:02:00.600]He got angry.
[00:02:01.791]When he is angry,
[00:02:02.817]everyone trembles.
[00:02:04.207]"Who is it?"
[00:02:06.494]"And who dares to drink before me?"
[00:02:15.094]"All will be punished!"
[00:02:17.481]The animals were so afraid.
[00:02:20.253]Thus, the hyena denounced,
[00:02:24.396]"The lioness!"
[00:02:25.543]And she said,
[00:02:26.690]"I will make you pay
[00:02:27.910]for your fault that I didn't commit.
[00:02:30.042]"It's the lioness that drank before you."
[00:02:37.604]The King Dankele crashed the lioness
[00:02:39.654]with a big pow.
[00:02:42.230]But the lion Simba was not there.
[00:02:45.513]He ran away
[00:02:46.730]and waited and waited until he got big.
[00:02:50.660]When he became a big,
[00:02:54.750]big lion.
[00:02:59.472]He would growl.
[00:03:00.472]and echoed through the savannah.
[00:03:03.460]He came out and said,
[00:03:05.755]"Where did my mom go?"
[00:03:08.730]Everyone was intimated by the lion.
[00:03:12.855]"Your mother? The lioness?"
[00:03:15.910]An advisor whispered in the king's ears
[00:03:19.389]"This is the lioness
[00:03:20.590]you killed a few years ago."
[00:03:25.379]"Yes, it's true. Your mother died."
[00:03:46.008]The law is unjust
[00:03:50.205]The lion Simba fought against the buffalo
[00:03:54.013]and beat him.
[00:03:55.743]The buffalo ran away from the savannah.
[00:04:00.490]And Simba became the king of the jungle.
[00:04:06.250]The new king decided to be right and just
[00:04:12.389]and would rule with justice.
[00:04:14.538]in the jungle.
[00:04:16.300]This is how Simba
[00:04:18.408]became the king of the Jungle.
