Mohatu is outraged when the news reaches him, and decides he must find a more permanent solution to the water shortage. The lion lunges at her, and all of the other waiting animals run in fear. Lastly, an antelope approaches him and asks if she can have a drink also. The other animals stand nearby waiting for him to finish. But one of these days, a selfish and lazy lion sits at the water hole and drinks a large amount of water. The law works and each animal is able to survive. Lions were to go the water hole last, as they could survive a relatively long time without water. Mohatu makes a law about how much each animal can drink. The water hole is reduced to a puddle, and all of the grass has dried up and died. Mufasa then tells Simba the story of Mohatu.Ī terrible drought has gripped the the Pride Lands. Mufasa shows Simba the brightest star in the sky and says that it goes back to the time of Simba's great-grandfather, Mohatu. Mufasa and Simba are on the top of Pride Rock on a cold winter's eve. It was published in September 1994 by Walt Disney Records & Audio. The Brightest Star is a book inspired by The Lion King.
