==Synopsis==
Simba and Nala are playing by the river when Nala gets squirted by some water. Shortly after, Simba is squirted by water, and the two realize the perpetrator is a young elephant. The cubs ask the elephant if he was the one who squirted them, and he admits to this. He then reveals that his name is Tombo. Tombo boasts about his ability to squirt, and Nala asks Tombo about where his herd is. Tombo replies that his herd kicked him out because he always squirted water and that he can't help it because it brings him enjoyment.
Simba promises to look for Tombo's herd and put in a good word for him. Simba and Nala find Tombo's herd, and the elephant leader states that Tombo can return to the herd if he behaves himself. Tombo's mother approaches Simba and Nala, and asks them to tell her son to come back. The cubs promise to do so.
The cubs tell Tombo the good news, and the three head off to find Tombo's herd. However, they notice a storm is approaching, and Tombo admits that he's afraid of thunder. Meanwhile, lightning strikes a tree stump, and the tree stump catches fire. The fire continues to spread across the Pride Lands. Mufasa, Sarabi, Rafiki, and Zazu notice this from a nearby ledge.
At a nearby lake, the cubs order Tombo to suck up as much water as he can into his trunk. Tombo then squirts the water toward the fire, and the fire goes out. Simba and Nala run up to Tombo and proclaim that he is a hero. The cubs return Tombo to his herd, and the elephant leader gives a speech, naming Tombo the "Hero of the Year". Tombo's mother thanks the cubs, and the three watch Tombo squirt himself with water.
