Grandpa intervenes once more. This time he sends Jake and Elena to a pride of lions that live close to the village. There, they watch a tale unfold where a lion named Kondoo strugglers with his own shyness and desire to be accepted.
The story unfolds to show Kondoo make mistake after mistake as he takes on different personae. Finally, his one friend helps him realize that people’s reactions to him are caused by his behaviors and the way he presents himself. She helps Kondoo realize the importance of starring in his own show or life. Kondoo does so and is granted a beautiful mane to remind all the animals of the importance of being king or queen of your own space and to star in your own show.
Once again, on the way back to the village, Jake faces a challenge and shows that he’s learned this second lesson well. Jake reviews his lesson with Nia before being transported home where he is to help his friend through her struggle.
The learning of this second life strategy, moves Jake’s journey into adulthood forward a step.
