I see it now.... Rafiki points to the water, to gather Simba's attention. Quickly, without anyone's noticing, the wizened baboon flips a switch with one of his feet. As the young lion stares at the reflection in the water, Rafiki quickly runs a little ways off to a curtained-off corner of the jungle. He quickly begins pulling some levers, and speaks into a micro phone. "Simba...." "Father?" Simba gazes up at the clouds mysteriously taking the shape of his father's . "You have forgotten me..." "No, how could I?" "You have Forgotten who you are, because you have forgotten-- you rotten little dog! where did you come from??!! Go on, get outta here!" Rafiki kicked the little scotty dog away from his curtained control room, and shook his fist at a girl giggling in the distance. "I'm trying to save a kingdom, jyou know!!! Get dat mutt on a leash, will jyou??!!" "No, wait! Simba! Come back! That was, er, an evil spirit that was coming in this direction... yeah! Anyway, you have forgotten who you are, because you have forgotton me. Look hard within yourself, Simba. you are more, than-- JYOU SHTUPID DOG!!! .... What you have become. . You must take your place in the circle of life. Remember......" "No, don't leave me!" "Remember.... " "Father..." Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Rafiki appears. "Dee wedder, very peculiar, don't jyou tink?" Ah, it was all down hill for our shamaan friend after that. A little lecture, a couple whacks on the head, and Simba was off to stop his uncle. "Heh heh heh! Eet get's 'em everree time!!" Yep, Rafiki's favorite movie was "Wizard of Oz" -Rindimo --  The Tiger is made to kill and hunt, The Lion too, but more towards fight. The Leopards and Jaguars were made to climb, And Cheetahs made for earthly flight. But there is one creature of forgotten lore: Shrouded in mystery, be that it's trade, Of other virtues, it has all four- Respect the Puma, and what God made. -Rindimo E-mail Address: Rindimo@bellsouth.net *If you can read this, then I am still an eligible bachelor!*  Founder (and only member) of: The L.O.S.T.- C.A.U.S.E.
