Why should I, the future Lion King, be treated like this? I'm tired of this! Always working! Too much is too much! I'll show them! I'll run away from home!
Simba is upset about having to learn how to hunt for his prey from Zazu. His mother, Sarabi, comes along to clean him, but Simba insists he wants to be dirty. Later on that day, Mufasa reminds his son about doing his chore, which is to clean up the cave inside Pride Rock.
Simba hates this activity, as he is the future Lion King, so he decides to run away from home. He presents this idea to his parents, and Mufasa wishes his son luck. Simba thinks his parents are bluffing but insists that he will have fun. As Simba begins his run from home, Mufasa jokes that he'll be back before dark.
Simba begins to enjoy his flight from home, as he doesn't have to do any more chores and nobody has to bathe him. However, Simba realizes he has been standing on an anthill, and the ants start to bite the young cub. Simba jumps into a river as a way to get the ants off. Next, Simba walks up to a geyser, wondering what it is, and starts to hear a strange sound coming from it. The geyser shoots Simba into the air with its hot water. After that experience, Simba feels very hungry and sees a grasshopper on a rock until it flies away. However, Simba sees a fish in the river and hops onto a rock to catch it with his paws.
However, the rock that Simba lands on is actually the back of a hippopotamus. The hippo kicks Simba off his back into the water. Simba begins to feel miserable and feels doing his chores is better than the experiences he is going through. At the same time, it begins to rain, and Simba almost gets zapped by lightning, which strikes a tree stump. Simba runs back home to Mufasa and Sarabi. Mufasa tells his son that it is good to be on one's own but that he is still too young. He goes on to say that Simba's day will come if he is patient. Simba asks his parents if his running away worried them, but Mufasa states that Zazu had followed him. Finally, Mufasa tells Simba that when he was around Simba's age, he'd done the same thing.
