An example from a familiar story… Simba the lion cub is heir to the throne. But when his father is killed in a stampede, he must flee his kingdom. Years later, when a piece of his past finds him in the form of his childhood playmate, he must choose to return to his homelands and save his pride or leave his family to die. His choice to fight for his rightful place in the kingdom leads to a fierce battle with his uncle, Scar, the lion responsible for his father’s death. After defeating Scar, Simba is free to retake the throne and bring balance and peace back to his family’s land.
