“I met Hekima when I went to Africa seven years ago. We were in Tanzania and we were making a film about elephants.
When we arrived, we saw three young elephants. They were playing together. Hekima was small, friendly and intelligent. We
called her Hekima because it means “wisdom”. Hekima was a great actress, and the film made her famous. After we finished
the film we left Africa. I thought I’d never see Hekima again. But she left Africa, too. She came to a zoo in the USA. I was
working in New York when I heard about that. She was happy when she saw me. She was playing happily. I think she
