"Mama..." the baby whispered.
Nala went over to the little baby. "Oh, you poor little darling..." she whispered, walking over to Vitani, nuzzling the cub. "What happened?" she asked with great concern.
"Daddy hurt mama. Daddy fall in water. Green thing go snap. Daddy gone. Mama grab me. Mama took me here. Mama gone." The cub repeated, for the third time.
Nala's eyes bulged, then turned to Simba. "Simba. The cub's mother and father seemed to have gotten in a huge fight. Her father fell into the waterhole and crocodiles ate him. The mother ran away to take the cub to safety...and...died when she came here."
Simba's eyes bulged, and walked over to Vitani. "I'm very sorry that I accused you of hurting the mother." he spoke, then turned to the cub. "And I'm sorry that you had to witness such tragedy... I know how you feel." Simba recalled in his head the death of his father, and shuddered.
