「There's a white-haired boy on the beach, fully dressed for wintry weather. He's also wearing a cape and a pair of manacles. Oh, and he's vigorously gnawing on a tree, and yes, he's making progress.

Chomp chomp, nom nom. Bother, y/n?」

It's - never mind, don't worry about it. And if you run into a foe you should run away. I don't think hitting some of the guys in the head here will be nearly enough to even knock 'em out.

You're a kid so no, I wouldn't eat that. Is eating all you ever think about?

My grampa said that I should run away if there's too many foes, but I can hit them in the head really hard. Maybe that'll work!

I like good food! Like good friends!

I think you're better off just running. Maybe when you're older you can try hitting them over the head.

I think that makes two of us, kid. You, eh, full after eating that tree?

Okay. How do I get 'older'?

Full? Heheheh, no way! I can eat lots, lots more!

It takes time - and no, you can't eat that.

How about we round up some grub together? All this talk of eating has me hungry now too.

'Grub'? Is that finally something I can eat? Because you know, there seems to be a whole lot here that I can't eat, and I dunno if I like that.

Of course, you can eat grubs! Trust me, you'll love 'em.

[jumps down from tree and onto Shiro's head]

That sounds great! Man, it's good to have friends who know what food is.

「goes cross-eyed to look up at Timon」

So, where do we go?

If anyone knows what good food is, it's me. There should be some under a log or rock.

If you keep your eyes like that they'll stay that way permanently.

Wow. You've gotta be really smart! And what's a 'log'? Can I eat a 'rock'?

I am known to be quite the genius, actually. And a log is a dead tree, you shouldn't eat it. Rocks would break your teeth. You shouldn't eat those either if you ever want to eat anything else again.

Wow. I don't really get all of that, but that sounds bad. If I couldn't eat, I dunno what I'd do. I'll stick to 'grub', yeah.

Good idea. After all, all the vitamins you need are in bugs.

Wow! Are 'vitamins' good for me?

Incredibly so! Look, there's a log right there. Flip it over.

Oh. That's a 'log'? Got it!

「Consider that log flipped with a single hand, almost like it was a stick rather than a log.」

How did you...?

I flipped it over. Like this.

「Wee, let's do that again!」

...

Lift that rock over there.

「Consider it lifted like a piece of styrofoam.」

There's food under here? I wouldnt've ever known!

How in the... Wow. Uh yeah, there's grubs. Here, put that down. [jumps down onto the ground and collects bugs in a large leaf for the two of them] Here, they one of these.

「The rock is tossed unceremoniously behind him somewhere.」

Wow, this is a 'grub'! 「MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH SLUUUUURP」 Hey, not bad!

Not bad? Try fantastic - and the ones with wings. They're some of the best.

Fantastic. FANTASTIC! That's so cooooool! What're wings? I can eat 'em this time, right?

Wings are what animals and insects like these use to fly around. If you're going to eat something with wings though, I think it should only be bugs.
