But never the less on her 12th birthday he gifted her with a 4-year-old female elephant who Jasmine named Kubwa because she looked big. She loved Kubwa and introduced her to her Lions. Dada took one look at her and ran off. But Pili licked her and jumped on her back for a ride. Jasmine laughed and shooed him off. She went on her first ride with 10 bodyguards with her and a driver.

She soon learned how to drive Kubwa on her own but her still refused to let her own on rides without her guards. Kubwa loved to be with Jasmine had soon learned how to please her. She soon got a habit if Jasmine was ditching her guards to lift her onto her back with her trunk and then take off.
