endless night

 

Chapters: 1-kube and the four panthers

 

It was a cold night in the middle of the savannah.

�Simba had been marching from night to day and from day to night� said mufasas ghost as he watched over simbas path. �What did scar do to you?� �Soon, this kingdom will be just the parched lands, earth and sky��

�I have walked all day and now at night��

�FATHER! MOTHER! NALA! WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU MOST?!� said simba. He looked at his kingdom.

�So far of me, I can�t return now�

He looked at the lands in front of him.

�This is not what I have been looking for�

He looked at the sky

�And now it seems like the stars have never looked after me�

He walked some more metres and then ran along the ground using all his strength and courage. He was crying. Suddenly he stopped at a cliff and calmed down. While he was sitting there he saw a river.

�Water!� �IT IS WATER�

Simba climbed down from the cliff and started to drink but when he stopped drinking he saw, so far, a waterfall and beautiful green lands.

�That should be a paradise for grass-eaters� Simba called herbivores GRASS-EATERS.

�And if that is true, it means food for me!�  �But the river� He thought for a while.

�I will never cross this� �wait, I know this river�isn�t it?� �Kube!�

Simba ran nearer kube, the river and started to sing.

�There�s a river, standing between me and my home�

�There�s a river�WAIT!� shouted simba as he saw cubs of panther near him.

Simba was ready to attack but suddenly one of the cubs pounced at him from a bush. Simba and the cub were quarrelling when another cub appeared.Then, simba realized that the panthers (the four panthers) loved singing and when they heard simba they were just ready to sing with him.

�Well� said simba �if that is the case I suppose I was wrong to fight you�

�Don�t worry, it wasn�t your fault��said a cub

�Let�s sing along togheter!�Shouted a panther

�But we don�t know any song� added the most little cub.

�All right� finally said the bravest panther, a female. �Let�s sing what simba was singing before�

�So far of me, I can�t return now�

He looked at the lands in front of him.

�This is not what I have been looking for�

He looked at the sky

�And now it seems like the stars have never looked after me�

He walked some more metres and then ran along the ground using all his strength and courage. He was crying. Suddenly he stopped at a cliff and calmed down. While he was sitting there he saw a river.

EN-GB style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">�There�s a river� started simba

�Standing between me and my home�

�There�s a river�

�Standing between me and my home� he repeated.

�The name of the river�

�Kube is the name �continued simba.

�The name of the river�

�Kube is the name�

�Kube�Said one cub

�KUBE-TU�continued another.

�I�ve got to cross over� said a male cub

�KUBE-TU� finished the female.

And they sang along all night.

�It is morning� said simba

�I must continue looking for the great green place�

�Well�goodbye� said a panther.

They were all ready to go when simba said:

�Wait!� �I can�t cross kube�

�Oh, it�s easy� �you must jump from crocodile to crocodile� added a cub

�That is not easy� said simba �but I am going to try� �TO THE GREEN PLACE!� �Shouted Simba as he ran to kube, then he landed on a crocodile.

�Oh no� said simba and after that he started jumping. But suddenly he got trapped with 5 crocodiles. Fortunately a panther took a vine with its fangs and saved simba.

�Thanks you four a lot� �you saved my life and now I have crossed kube!�

�It was nothing �said the female and a cub added:

�I hope you can find the green place, good bye and moshanyana weso bo itmuele�

�what?� said simba.

�It means:brother,be happy�

and then the four panthers left.

2-its time

�well now i am on the other side�

�and its time...time to find my new home�Simba walked all morning through the dessert.Then he stopped to look for some food but he only found a buzzard and some birds so he ate what he could.

�i am so tired�said dimba as he yawned.

�but its time...�

�the sun is shining�

�the children laughing,playing full of dreams to find�

�they all remind me when i was a little boy full of life and pride�

�Oh no� said simba and after that he started jumping. But suddenly he got trapped with 5 crocodiles. Fortunately a panther took a vine with its fangs and saved simba.

�Thanks you four a lot� �you saved my life and now I have crossed kube!�

�It was nothing �said the female and a cub added:

PAN>

�they look so peacefull�

�moshana weso bo itmuele� simba repeted the exact shwaili words than the panther mentioned.

�So sweet and gracefull�

�Ngwana weso bo ithabise� and talked again in shwaili (he knew a little bit)

�They are all so hopefull�

�moshana weso bo itmuele�

�and there is no need for crying�

�no need for fighting�

�oh,isnt it?�heard simba.It was a wolf.

�My name is taran�said the wolf.

Simba was still surprised but in short his courage came out and he said:

�what do you want?�

�so� �you think there is no need for crying� �well...you dont know how cruel is the world�

�oh,yes i know!� �my father died 2 days ago and i am looking for a new home!�simba started to cry.

�thank you!�

�for what?�said simba.

�thats just what i needed,now the rain will come to us,because your father is on the sky.Did you know that when an animal cries because one of his parents is dead it rains?�

�no i didnt�answered simba

�RAIN,WATER!�He said and then taran and simba drank precious water.
