(Sophia, on airplane to NJ, recalling the movie on Kilamanjaro which included a scene with elephant bones high up in the mountain and the narrator’s commentary that they wondered what drove the elephants up so high on the mountain where conditions were harsh and it was likely they would starve)

Sophia: I would bring them a lot of food, bread and lots of bread, and broccoli. Elephants eat leaves, too, right?

Mama: Yes, I think so

Sophia: If I was in that movie and they were in that movie, I’d feed them bread, broccoli and leaves so they won’t die.

Mama: That’s very nice of you

Sophia: And I’d get a whole bunch of buckets and put some water in their so they can drink it.
