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 remembered me.”
