Edwina is eating heart of palm; her calf, Elaine, tries to get the palm heart from her mother after a previous failed attempt. Edwina turns toward her as if to push her away and in the process drops some palm heart. Elaine snatches it and Edwina makes as if to push her; Elaine calls out in a complaining tone with a Grumble-Rumble-Cry-Rumble. (Amboseli, Kenya)
