===Mufasa: The Lion King===
As Mufasa grew up, Masego and Afia taught him about a fabled paradise called "Milele".
One day, it began to rain, which delighted Masego and his family. However, as Mufasa began to play in a nearby ravine, the rain escalated into dangerous floodwaters, and his parents called him back to them. However, he got swept into the floodwaters, and Masego leaped in after him. After catching up to him, Masego carried him to the side of the ravine and tossed him there. However, an elephant knocked into the rocks upon which Mufasa was standing, flinging him back into the flood. While Mufasa was carried far downstream from his parents, Masego perished in the flood.
Several years later, when Mufasa was an adolescent, he reunited with Afia in Milele. He questioned what had happened to Masego, and she revealed that he had died. She added that he lived on in Mufasa.
