Rattlesnake looked over at the sleeping tom as she finished washing. Getting up she thought about waking him up but decided to let him sleep. She noticed there was a small patch of forest near the river and headed toward it, she perked her ears as she rounded a tree and spotted a rabbit trail. Opening her jaws to taste the air she could tell the trail hadn't been used since yesterday, 'They must use this trail to get to the water' she thought with an evil grin getting low in a patch of tall grass near the edge of the trail. Silently she waited for a rabbit to hop past on its way to the river.
"Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."

"Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life."- The Lion King
