[Stuart Cole, Tourist]:
“I like the way they put on an actual parade asking for money instead of, you know, going around trying to get it. At least you’re doing something for it, you know. But yeah I know, it’s a really good cause, really good cause.
观光客斯图尔特科尔说:“我喜欢他们用这种实际的游行方式筹款,而不是,你知道,试着到处要钱。至少你试着去做了一些事情。但是我知道,这真的是一件很好的事情、很好的事情。 ”

The elephants were adorned with body paint reading “Help Japan” and collected donations in a box they held in their trunks.
