==Synopsis==
Zazu attempted to find the perfect jobs for Timon and Pumbaa, to no avail. One day, Simba reminded Zazu that Timon and Pumbaa followed the worry-free "Hakuna Matata" philosophy, but Zazu retorted that it was not his lifestyle.
That afternoon, Zazu tasked Timon and Pumbaa with watching the pride's cubs while the lionesses hunted. While watching the cubs, the duo allowed them to go to the water hole alone and did not require them to take naps. Upon finding out, Zazu was furious and complained that Timon and Pumbaa's babysitting style was "too loose."
The next day, Zazu instructed Timon and Pumbaa to clear the brush around the water hole. However, while they were working, they ate some grubs and fell asleep. Angry once more, Zazu berated the two for having slept on the job, and Timon wondered why Zazu was "tense" all the time. In answer, Zazu explained that he was Simba's right-hand man and therefore responsible for the Pride Lands being in perfect order. Pumbaa complimented Zazu on his job, but Timon asked what the good of an ordered kingdom was if one never got to enjoy it.
Realizing that Timon had a point, Zazu named him and Pumbaa the "ministers of hakuna matata" and tasked them with keeping matters from getting too serious. When Simba found out about Zazu's decision, he was delighted, and Zazu commented that he had always known that Timon and Pumbaa were special.
