Makuta Hamaka

Makuta Hamaka is an ideology originating from the belief that one ought to work really hard. It is held by Boss Beaver.
==Concept==
The ideology of Makuta Hamaka manifests itself in a working lifestyle that involves rules and responsibilities. To that end, the phrase "Makuta Hamaka" is used as a way of saying "work really hard". If the person complies with that lifestyle, Boss Beaver pays them and eventually promotes them to become a new boss.
The ideology is the direct opposite of Hakuna Matata, an ideology in which Timon and Pumbaa have long adopted as a way of living a carefree life devoid of rules and responsibilities.
==History==
===Timon and Pumbaa's temporary adoption of the ideology===
At some point, Boss Beaver met Pumbaa and taught him about his Makuta Hamaka ideology. After cutting down a tree like a beaver, Pumbaa got himself and Timon jobs as dam builders, which dismayed Timon. Nevertheless, Pumbaa dragged Timon to Boss Beaver's place, where Boss Beaver introduced himself and hired the duo to construct a barrier to prevent the flow of water. He then gave them white hard hats and buck teeth. After all the hard work, Pumbaa realized that it was too much. When Timon suggested that he and Pumbaa take an extended lunch hour, Boss Beaver showed the two money, which made Timon change his mind and decide to work even more.
After all the work Timon had done, Boss Beaver gave Timon a yellow hard hat and made him Pumbaa's boss. Timon made Pumbaa cut down some trees while he counted them. Pumbaa then asked Timon if he could show up to dinner that night, and Timon promised that he would do so.
When Timon was working in a bathroom, Boss Beaver gave him forms to fill out. The beaver then told Timon that he should fire Pumbaa. Come nighttime, Timon went to fire Pumbaa. Pumbaa then made his friend choose his philosophy: Makuta Hamaka or Hakuna Matata.
Later, Timon and Boss Beaver were at a press conference, during which Boss Beaver gave a speech. Boss Beaver then got the credit for building the dam when it had really been Timon and Pumbaa who had built it. When Boss Beaver fired Timon, water pushed the dam out of the way and splashed everyone. Boss Beaver accused Timon of building the dam, and Timon told his boss that since he had taken all the credit, no one would ever vote for him again. Boss Beaver then asked Timon for a job. In turn, Timon and Pumbaa made Boss Beaver their waiter.
