==Plot summary==
While wandering through the jungle with Timon and Pumbaa, Simba began to hiccup. In the face of Timon's confusion, Simba explained that he had the hiccups, and Timon told him that they would go away eventually. Simba protested that he could not roar and demonstrated that he hiccuped every time he tried to roar. Pumbaa suggested licking some tree bark while hopping on one foot, holding his nose, and saying his name backwards five times fast. Simba took Pumbaa's advice, to no avail.
Timon and Pumbaa began to argue if there was something stuck in Simba's throat, only for Simba to interrupt them with the biggest hiccup yet. As he did so, a fly flew out of his mouth. Immediately, Timon and Pumbaa yelled, "Dinner!" and pounced on the fly, which caused it to buzz away in fear.
