Over the open plains, a herd of elephants began to march toward the watering hole, their long trunks swinging, the pads of their large feet leaving deep impressions on the dry ground. Near the top of a hill, a mother giraffe appeared, her baby following close behind, its head swiveling back and forth as it scanned the landscape for friends—and predators. Below, on a plain still covered with a thin layer of morning mist, a herd of gazelles leapt and played, the young ones jumping over brush with abandon and then spooking as an even larger herd of zebras passed by.
在開闊的平原上疲憋，一群大象開始朝水坑前進(jìn)跃须，興奮地?fù)]舞著它們那長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的鼻子，它們的大腳墊在干燥的地面上留下深深的印記。 在山頂附近，一只母長(zhǎng)頸鹿出現(xiàn)了，它的孩子緊跟其后，它回過頭看著前方纯衍，掃視四周看看有沒有捕食者。 陽光下苗胀，在一片仍然覆蓋著一層薄薄晨霧的平原上襟诸，一群羚羊跳躍嬉戲著,年輕的孩子們盡情玩耍,然后跟著一群斑馬跳過灌木叢瓦堵。
Even the smallest of life had awoken. On tree branches, ants began to march out of their holes and head to ground, careful to stay out of the way of the hungry guinea fowl. Tiny birds flew from branch to branch, the boldest occasionally swooping down to catch a ride on a passing elephant.
即使是最小的生命也醒了。 在樹枝上歌亲，螞蟻開始從他們的洞里走出來菇用，從頭到腳，小心地遠(yuǎn)離饑餓的珍珠鳥应结。 小鳥從樹枝飛到樹枝上刨疼，最大膽的一只俯沖下來，站在一只路過的大象的背上鹅龄。
As all the animals of the savannah continued to wake, the sound grew to a crescendo until finally it broke with a loud trumpet from an elephant. But beneath the peace was a growing sense of excitement that every animal—from the largest to the smallest—felt. It was why, in almost perfect synchrony and complete harmony, they began to make their way to Pride Rock. The heart of their part of the savannah, Pride Rock was where Mufasa, the giant lion who had led the land for years, and his pride of lions lived. And on this day, he would introduce his kingdom to his son. It was a tradition that had been upheld for generations. Mufasa's family was well respected. He was a fierce and mighty lion, but he was kind, and he treated everyone—from the ants to the antelope—as important. In return, he had earned the respect of every animal family in the Pride Lands. And now they would show their respect by greeting his new son.
