Nala made her way along the slippery branch carefully. She almost slipped into the river once but managed to reach Simba. Tentatively she tried to lift Simba out of the mud. Finally Simba was able to free a paw and took hold of the branch with it. Together they lifted him out of the river and slowly made their way back to the bank. No more rivers for them! But there are other places in the pridelands.
