==Plot summary==
One night, Simba and his friends, Timon and Pumbaa, looked for pictures in the stars. While Pumbaa thought he could see the shape of a slug in the stars, Timon disagreed, asserting that the stars formed the likeness of an elephant. Simba commented teasingly that Timon was simply thinking about the elephant stampede that had nearly flattened them earlier. He added that he found it funny how Timon and Pumbaa always saw pictures in the stars that related to what was on their minds at the time. Just then, Pumbaa spotted stars that formed the shape of berries, and Simba pointed to this as evidence of his point.
Timon asked Simba what he saw. At that moment, a shooting star went by, and Simba remarked that he saw a "bright streak of light." Pumbaa agreed with Simba's assessment, and Timon begrudgingly agreed as well.
