Synopsis

Mufasa and Sarabi leave on a journey and entrust Zazu to babysit Simba and Nala for the day. Zazu complains to the king how the cubs never listen to him and how they constantly get into trouble, but Mufasa calls it nonsense and declares that Zazu has his full confidence.

While Simba and Nala are wrestling with each other, Zazu reflects on how much energy the cubs have and how children should not have time to make mischief. When the cubs finish their game, Zazu comes up with a game for them to play. Simba and Nala begin to leave, as they aren't interested, but Zazu claims there is a reward. Simba asks Zazu what the reward is, and Zazu states it is one hour of supervised play. However, the cubs aren't interested in the reward, so they begin to leave. Zazu thinks up of a task that will take one full day for the cubs to do.

The hornbill leads the cubs to a nearby cave and tells them if they clean out the cave, they can do whatever they want. So, Simba gets a young elephant named Bantam to use his trunk to clean out the cave. The elephant cleans the cave, so Zazu thinks to himself that his plan is not working.

Later that day, Nala notices that Zazu is following them. Simba tries to lose him by going to the water hole through some bushes with thick branches. When Zazu reaches the cubs, Simba tells his babysitter that he wants to play another game.

While near a fruit tree, Zazu tells the cubs of another game in which the cubs must pick all the ripe fruits off a tree. Simba promises to do so, but only if they get to play "Hunter" as a reward. Zazu agrees, so Nala bounces on a tree limb, causing all the ripe fruit to fall from the tree.

At sunset, Zazu wonders where the cubs are until Simba bounces on the hornbill. The next morning, Zazu gives the command for the cubs to find a bunch of bitter berries. On the journey for the berries, a bird drops some bitter berries on Nala's head from the sky. Zazu is amazed when they return with the berries.

After eating some of the berries, when asked by Simba if he is going to eat them, Zazu faints from exhaustion. Simba and Nala spend the rest of the day caring for him. Finally that night, Mufasa and Sarabi arrive, and Zazu reports that their behavior was wonderful. Afterwards, Mufasa and Simba begin a brief stroll through the Pride Lands, and Mufasa tells his son that Zazu is the best babysitter but doesn't know it yet.
