Simba ndiye aliyekuwa mfalme wa mwituni. Wanyama wote walifurahia kuongozwa na simba. Siku moja Simba alitangaza kwamba alikuwa mgonjwa mahututi na kwamba alikaribia kuaga dunia. Hivyo aliwaalika wanyama wote waende nyumbani kwake kumwona na kusikia maneno yake ya mwisho. Hali hiyo iliwafanya wanyama wote wawe na woga kama kunguru.Wanyama wengi waliingiwa na wasiwasi kwa sababu walimpenda sana mfalme wao na hawakutaka afe.
Hivyo mbuzi alienda kwenye pango alimoishi Mfalme Simba ili kumjulia hali. Alisimama kwenye sehemu ya kuingilia pangoni na kusikiliza kwa muda mrefu. Kisha kondoo alikuja na akaingia pangoni moja kwa moja. Kabla hajatoka mwanafarasi naye alikuja kupokea ushauri wa mwisho wa mtalme, akaingia pangoni. Mbuzi alipoona kuwa wenzake hawakutoka nje, aliondoka. Baada ya muda mfupi simba alijitokeza nje akionekana kupata nafuu ya haraka, akaja kwenye lango lake la kuingilia pangoni ili apunge upepo wa nje. Alipopiga macho kushoto na kulia alimwona mbweha, akiwa amejiinamia akisubiri nje ya pango kwa muda mrefu.
"Kwa ini ewe mbweha hujaja ndani ya pango kutoa heshima zako za mwisho kwangu? Mbona unakaa tu apa nje ukicheza?" Simba alimwuliza.
"Nisamehe Bwana Mkubwa," Mbweha alijitetea, "ila katika kuja kwangu hapa nimegundua alama za nyayo za wanyama wengi ambao wamekwisha kukutembelea pangoni mwako; na nikichunguza kwa makini zaidi naona alama nyingi za kwato zikiingia ndani, na sioni zitokazo nje. Hadi hapo nitakapowaona wanyama waliokwishaingia pangoni mwako wakitoka nje, sitaingia. Ninaona ni heri nibaki huku huku nje kwenye uwazi na hewa safi.
Ujumbe ulipowafikia wanyama wengine, walimpeleka Simba mahakamani na kumshtaki. Simba alihukumiwa kifungo cha mwongo mmoja. Vilevile, alinyang'anywa mamlaka ya kuwa mfalme. Mbweha alichaguliwa kuwa kiongozi kwa kuwa alisema ukweli na kukomesha uovu uliokuwa ukiendelea.
