"Oh! Simba! My King! Why are you angry at me. Don't you know a king should be very alert? He should observe all directions, but you're looking only in upward direction".

"Who is your king? I am only 7 years. Who are you to interfere with my business ? My friends are there to guide me. Who are you to meddle"?

"Hai! I am Tao. Let's be friends". Tao gives a Bright smile.

"I will not be friends with other clans. As you tripped me say sorry. If you say sorry, I will excuse you as this is your first time".

"Oye! Why should I say sorry? I helped you to know how alert one should be but in my own way. You should say thanks to me as I taught you a lesson which your friends didn't teach".

It is Simba's first time to hear someone talking back to him. He does not want to lose his face in front of his friends and just wants to frighten Tao. So, in the future, no one can meddle with this future king. He believes no one should talk in front of King unless he asks them to speak. So, he grabs the Turtle and acts as if he is going to eat it.

Tao immediately pulls his head into his shell in order to guard himself.

Simba says, "If you didn't come out and say sorry to me, I will hit you on a big rock". Tao didn't come out of his shell. Simba raises his hand so he can hit Tao to the ground.

Nammon immediately takes Tao in his hand and says, "Simba! Be cool. He didn't do anything. His way of helping you may be wrong, but his intention is to help you".

Tao immediately pushes his neck outwards and says, "Hey! What is your name? Thank you for rescuing me. I think here you're the better one. Will you be my friend"?

Nammon sees the angry look in Singto's face. So he did not answer to Tao's question. He puts Tao down and says, "Bye".

"Thank you. I will never forget you. Though you didn't answer me, from today onwards I am taking you as my friend. As in this body, we may have large differences, but once we become shapeshifters at the age of nine we all be boys and studying in the same school. I think, at that time this clan difference won't be there", said Tao by kissing one of Nammon's legs as he doesn't have hands to give a hug to his new friend.

Tao turns to Simba and says, "Why is your face looks like a grumpy cranky? Just chill. From now onwards, I will never interfere in your matter and I will never try to talk with you and you also never try to talk with me".

"Who wants to talk with you"?

"Good," said Tao before leaving.

After Tao leaves, Simba jumps over Nammon and growling in his child dominating voice, "Don't ever meddle in my matters when I'm giving a punishment". He licks away Nammon's foot where Tao gave a kiss.

Bright says, "Simba! What happened to you? Nammon is our friend. You will always be calm. Did that cute turtle rub you in the wrong way"?

"Bright! Don't ever talk about that turtle in front of me", said Simba before leaving that place.

At the same time in another place:

All the elders of different clans (Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Deers, Tortoise, etc... All kinds of animals Heads) are gathered there to discuss something. They are waiting for their King Sean Jindachot (Simba's father).

King comes, all the clans of different clans greets him. King turns into a man then the different clan also turns into man and woman.

King sits on a crown, while all other sits on the ground.
