The Animal's End
After the famous fight between Tarzan and the tiger, a big fire happened because one candle inside Tarzan’s tree house fell and burnt everything up. The Gorillas had to leave home and look somewhere else to live because there was nothing left but ashes. They walked and walked for days and nights until they got to the lion’s kingdom and decided to stay there for a while. Kerchack, the gorilla leader, went all the way up to Simba’s home to talk to him and asked him if they could stay, Simba understood their situation and accepted. Everything was going perfect; they were getting along very well. Winter came and the gorillas started to be a problem; the lions spent a lot of time in the year gathering food for the winter, the gorillas knew that but didn’t care. There wasn’t enough food for everyone and Kerchack and his troops didn’t mind. A lot of members of the lion kingdom started to die from starvation; Simba noticed it and didn’t like it. Winter got through and fruits started to grow, animals started to get out from the caves and the lions were ready to start the hunting and the food collect. The gorillas did nothing; they stayed there just looking for food for the day. Simba told Tarzan the situation, since he seemed to be a little more reasonable, but this didn’t work out, Kerchack never listens to what Tarzan says, so Simba went to talk to Kerchack himself. After a long discussion and a big fight Simba left angry and convened a meeting with every member of the lion kingdom in order to make a plan to fired the gorillas, or better, to make them leave their land. The lions started to hide in secret places the food they collected each day so they couldn’t find any, therefor, have nothing to eat. Kerchack and his followers needed something to eat, and the starvation made them get angry more easily. One day Kercheck couldn’t stand it anymore and went to talk to Simba, Simba felt so impotent and angry until he explode and let it all out. They started to argue but the argue became screams so everybody got concerned and went see what was going on. Kercheck started to get aggressive but the lions where there to help Simba if anything, and so it happened the gorillas and lions started to fight and a war began. Lions asked the zebras, antelopes, cheetahs, tigers, coyotes, giraffes for help while gorillas asked their friends, monkeys, snakes, elephants, crocodiles, bears, birds and many more. The fight lasted for seven days, many animals got killed during it, until Gado, the animal’s God appeared and said: “I am so disappointed on you, I gave you the chance of live together so you can make a better place to live and be happier, but all of you just threw it away. I am so disappointed, you should be ashamed, you are brothers and sisters and you are fighting and killing yourselves therefore I am going to punish all of you, all fruit will dry and there will be nothing to eat. You will work hard to get what you need in order to survive.” And so it happened every single fruit dried and they started to bond and work together to survive, but this didn’t result and all animals died from starvation.
