Thumper watches from a distance as father and son discuss the art of observing, and then walk off together to patrol the forest. At Thumper’s behest, Bambi works up the courage to ask his dad about his work. Later, Thumper is shown aiding Bambi in jumping practice, motivated by the Prince’s approval of the one achieved the day before. Thumper jumps on Bambi’s back and two manage to evade Ronno, achieving a jump which impresses Bambi’s father, the Great Prince. Bambi, in turn, knocks Ronno into the mud and arouses his anger. His efforts go awry when he retaliates to an insult from Ronno by pushing Bambi at him. Again, Ronno shows up, and again, Thumper supports Bambi without reservation.
