MUFASA: Look Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom.

SIMBA: Wow.

MUFASA: A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.

One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here

and will rise with you as the new king.

SIMBA: And this will all be mine?

MUFASA: Everything.

SIMBA: Everything, the light touches.

What about that shadowy place?

MUFASA: That's beyond our borders.

You must never go there Simba.

SIMBA: But I thought a king can do whatever he want.

MUFASA: Oh, there's more to being king than getting your way all the time.

SIMBA: There's more?

MUFASA: [LAUGHTER] Simba. Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.

As king, you need to understand that balance and respect

all the creatures from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.

SIMBA: But, Dad, don't we eat the antelope?

MUFASA: Yes Simba, but let me explain.

When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelope eat the grass,

and so we are all connected in the great circle of life.
