==Synopsis==
Simba is eating grubs with his friends, Timon and Pumbaa, when he hears a cry from the jungle. The friends follow the noise to where a baby hippopotamus is trapped in mud and vines. Together, they free the hippo, who explains that he had run away because he'd made his brother cry and is afraid of his parents' reaction.
The friends lead the hippo to the river, where he hears his friends calling his name, "Oyo". Simba explains gently that Oyo's family has probably missed him. Timon asks Simba about his own family, to which Simba ponders if his family misses him as well.
