A Human Friend (Japanese Title: "Animal School" (動物学校)) is the third episode of Kimba the White Lion (Jungle Emperor).
Plot[]
All of the animals are proud to present Kimba the white lion (Leo) as the new prince of the jungle at sunset. Nearby lost in the jungle, Roger (Kenichi) and Mary are resting. Mary begins having a nightmare when night falls and looks like an ape to her friend.
The next morning Mary gave the giraffe, Geraldine (Rinbo) her safari hat then breaks her leg while chasing for it. To get revenge, Boss Rhino tries to find the humans and attack them. Roger (Kenichi) meets Kimba (Leo) and hugs him for saving him from the collapsing bridge he gets the bandages and wrapped up the giraffe’s leg she can heal. This act of kindness convinces the animals to learn to speak human and start a school.
Kimba (Leo) realizes that Roger (Kenichi) has to get back to civilization so he calls all of the monkeys to make a connecting bridge for Roger. Roger (Kenichi) thinks over the offer and wants to stay with the jungle animals. To celebrate, Roger (Kenichi) plays the flute for them.

English Dub edits[]
- In the original Japanese version, Roger (Kenichi) was searching for Kimba (Leo) indicating that they had already met.
- The A-I-E-U-O song is changed into the "Sing a human song" in the dub.
- In the 1993 Canadian English dub, Kenichi was known as Jonathan. This has caused a strong confusion towards some viewers because oddly enough, James Brawn from the previous episode also had his name changed to Jonathan, which made viewers believe that the two characters were the same person. It was most likely intentional on how Zaza Sound Productions Ltd. intended the series to be aimed for a younger audience and did not want death mentioned towards that audience
