| + | '''An Unusual Choir''' is a comic inspired by [[The Lion King]]. |
| − | ''An Unusual Choir'' begins by introducing [[Simba]]'s newborn cousins. [[Mufasa]] and [[Sarabi]] have come to see the two newborns, and have brought along their son, Simba, and his friend, [[Nala]]. Nala tells Simba that his cousins are "cute" and "lovely", but Simba disagrees. He says that they cry too much, and sarcastically asks where they had gotten it from. He then says that he hopes that they'll grow up to be strong and courageous, and not crybabies. Mufasa tells Simba that the cubs aren't that bad and that they're "splendid, little fellows". Sarabi then says that the two cubs together don't cry nearly as much as Simba used to when he was a baby, which results in Nala calling Simba a "crybaby". | + | |

| − | Frustrated, Simba starts to stomp off, but is intercepted by Mufasa, who calls him back. Mufasa says that there would be a celebration the next day in honor of the two cubs, and that all relatives and friends must attend and take part in it. Nala comes up to join Mufasa, and says that she was planning to sing a lullaby to the two cubs. She then asks Simba if he would accompany her, but he refuses, claiming that he couldn't sing. But Mufasa suggests that Simba put together a choir to accompany Nala's song. But as Simba starts to protest again, Mufasa tells him that he had already promised the other [[Pridelanders]] that he would put together a choir, so Simba is sent away to find a good group of singers. But none of the other lion cubs want to join the choir, and claim that they had other things to do.
| + | [[Simba]] gets two new cousins that cry all the time and annoy him. To celebrate their births, Simba is given the task of assembling a choir to sing for them. Because his two cousins cry all night, Simba tries sleeping elsewhere. |

| − | Later that night, Simba is trying to think about Mufasa's task, but keeps getting interrupted by his cousins' crying. He then decides to sleep somewhere else, since his best ideas come to him when he's dreaming. As soon as he gets away from his cousins, he takes in all the silence with joy, glad to be away from the cries of the two lion cubs, and instead be in a cool forest, resting beside a peaceful river. As he starts to settle down to sleep, he comments that it's a pity Nala couldn't be there to sing him a lullaby. But before he can fall asleep, a strange noise frightens him, and causes him to scurry up a tree in fear.
| + | During the night, Simba is startled by three frogs and an owl (a bird he had never seen before). They become friends and Simba explains his task to them. One of the frogs suggest that all five of them join the choir with their star, Nala. |

| − | But when he looks back down, he sees that it's just three small frogs sitting on lily pads. The frogs laugh at Simba, hardly daring to believe that a [[lion]] was afraid of frogs. But Simba denies this, telling them that he had had a nightmare. But suddenly, there's another strange noise from within the tree, which causes Simba to let go of the tree and fall into the river below. But when he gets back to his feet, he sees that an owl is perched in the tree. But he had never seen one before, and has no idea what it is. The frogs soon inform him that the owl only came out at night, which is why Simba never saw her. They then tell him that he should be in bed. Simba tells them that he can't go to sleep, since his two cousins cry all night. He then says that he must put together a choir to help them sleep better, which makes both the frogs and the owl laugh. The frogs and owl sympathize Simba, and tell him that they wished they could help. But as they're thinking, one of the frogs suggests that Simba make a choir out of three frogs and an owl. Simba loves the idea, and is relieved that he found a choir so quickly.

| − | The next day, Simba sees a handful of lion cubs making a strange sort of pastry together. Mufasa tells him that it was a pudding of berries and fruit. He then asks Simba how the search for the choir was going, but the lion cub tells his father that it would be a surprise. As he leaves, Sarabi calls after him that she wanted to be proud of him. He tells her that she would be, but that he had to go. Later that evening, Simba takes Nala out to practice the lullaby with the frogs and the owl. After he introduces Nala to the choir, the singers begin to practice. | + | The following images are the six pages of this comic translated to English unofficially from its original language. |

| − | When Simba returns, Mufasa asks him where his choir was, because the party was to start in two minutes. Simba tells his father that they had plenty of time. But for a moment, Mufasa doesn't believe him, for he was going to introduce the choir in such a short time. But when he finally comes before the crowd of lions, he begins to introduce Nala and the choir. But then he realizes that there ''was'' no choir! But before he can protest, Simba's choir begins to sing, accompanied by Nala's lullaby. Simba's uncle and aunt are enchanted by the music, saying it was "a true treat for the ears". Meanwhile, Mufasa and Sarabi are surprised (and pleased) that Simba had come up with such an amazing choir. Simba then goes over to his aunt, and finds that his baby cousins have fallen fast asleep. Without their crying, he finally admits that they're the "sweetest cubs".
