Rambo has already crossed the boundary of the clearing where the large banyan tree was located which can also be considered one of the most dense and innermost area of the jungle due to which every one had agreed upon conducting their secret meeting of animals in this place since it was still not discovered by the Humans yet.
After searching for his friends for a few hours in the jungle he became a bit tired since he could not find any of them. Also there were no other animals to be found since most of the nearby beings had gone to attend the meeting called by the leaders of the Jungle.
Since no other animals could be found so he did not have a chance to enquire about anybody to ask about his friends whether they have seen them or not so he was in a predicament.
Rambo thought "Where could they hide or go? I have already searched for most of the places here but could not get a clue about them. As per the elder Giraffe they had come this way so I have searched everywhere around here. Where did they go? I also could not find any other being over here perhaps they all had gone to attend the meeting which is understandable however due to that reason my difficulty has increased. Now where should I look for them? Should I go back or not."
Rambo was a Lion kid so he had a heart of a lion and as per his personality he could not lose to any situation. He simply cannot give up which was in his nature since he was brought up in a lion tribe so he got his character built like that and since he wanted to become a leader he had to prove himself and had to find his friends.
Rambo thought: "No I cannot give up. I will find my friends also since they have come outside of the safe area of the jungle so they could be in danger of being captured by the humans so I have to find them and bring them back before any mishaps happen."
He started searching for his friends extensively and looked at every nook and cranny if they were hiding there and searched for another hour but there was no result so he was very demotivated and did not know what to do since he cannot return empty handed.
Rambo thought: "No there are not here. I am missing something; perhaps the elder had seen it incorrectly and they never went this way. Should I go in a different direction now or perhaps they have gone till the river."
Once this idea came to his mind his whole body shivered in fright. Rambo was after all a child and he had heard a lot of stories from the elders from his lion pack about how the animals went to the river to drink water and were captured by the humans to be held captive. So naturally even if he was a lion he was scared for his friends. Most of the time the animals were captured beside the river so naturally it became a spot which they had to avoid at any cost especially the children.
Rambo thought in his mind: "If they have really reached the river already then they are in grave danger and they may be captured by the humans at any moment. I have to go and rescue them."
With this thought Rambo went ahead and started searching for his friends since he wanted to save them at any cost. When he went to search for them he did not even realize that he was also in a danger zone and more than his friends the humans would like to capture a baby lion. He just went ahead with his plan selflessly without caring for himself.
On the other side when his friends saw that he was going out of the clearing and crossing the boundaries which were meant for the kids they got afraid and went after him to stop him to go any further but they were late since by the time they came out of the clearing Rambo was now where there in there sight.
Then they searched for him a lot for a few hours but could not find him as they started to wonder among themselves.
Makucha the Leopard kid said: "Where did he go? He came in this direction only."
Jax the jungle cat said approvingly: "Yes he came in this but now he seems he is nowhere in our sight."
Mutt the Hyena said: "Where did he vanish into thin air like this? Where could he go?"
Mackel the Golden Jackal said: "Obviously he is not here he may have gone ahead."
Neo the Indian Gray Mongoose said: "Yes I am also thinking the same. Rambo must have gone ahead; we should also see for ourselves if he is ahead of us."
Fuzzy the honey badger said: "No I do not think so. What if he went in a different direction altogether. He may choose any of the directions to know where he went. We have to think of a different way."
Ajax the Owl said: "Yes I am also thinking on the same lines. What if he went in a different direction the way we first went north then we came back of the clearing in a roundabout way to look at him. Then we will be in a false situation."
Makucha the Leopard kid said: "In that situation we should divide ourselves and look for him in all the four directions then we can be sure."
Mutt the Hyena said: "But who will go in which direction?"
Ajax the Owl who was one of the most intelligent among them said: "Let me decide for you guys. Myself and Fuzzy could continue our journey towards the north to check if he went there. Makucha and Jax could go to the south, Mutt and Mackel could go to the west, and Neo can check towards the east"
With that all of them set on their target went towards their goal.
While Rambo had already reached the river side, he was searching for his friends extensively over there but could not see anyone. Then he heard a lot of strange noise and saw two legged creatures coming towards him.
He realized that this creature was actually the Humans his elders from his pack had told stories about which were horrible and froze in his place. He did not know what to do now.
