Orko's New Friend

 is the 109th episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

(Ink & Paint DVD booklet description: Orko's friend Squonge, with whom he attended the Academy of Magic on Trolla, visits Eternia. Known for his tall tales, Squonge almost immediately launches into his tall tales exaggerating his own bravery. The Intergalactic Police report to Prince Adam that the Slave Master has been found on Eternia. When Squonge discovers the villan's ship whilst floating through the forest he convinces Orko to go with him, only for Orko to be captured by the Slave Master! Squonge returns to the Royal Palace, hoping to convince Adam, Man-At-Arms, and Teela of Orko's capture...)

Moral
Orko: "In our story today, Squonge learned a valuable lesson. Squonge exaggerated and made up stories, which caused people a lot of trouble. And later, when he needed people to believe him, they didn't. You know, Squonge made up stories to make people think that he was important. And what he learned was, we're all important! Every one of us. Goodbye for now."
