I've lost my herd, and I can't go back! Boohoohoo!
While playing hide-and-seek, Simba and Nala find a zebra foal named Zarah, who is crying. They question her on what is wrong, and the foal explains that she has been separated from her herd and mother. Zarah's herd lives near a large mountain, but the way back is overrun with hyenas. Simba plans to cover Zarah and themselves in mud so the hyenas won't recognize her as a zebra.
The plan succeeds, with the trio successfully walking past Shenzi and Banzai to the mountain. At first, Zarah's mother doesn't recognize Zarah, but after the mud is cleaned off, Zarah is safely reunited with her mother and herd. Simba and Nala are grounded by Mufasa for getting dirty again but rest easy knowing they've helped Zarah get home.
