These clips are recorded from the TV program called "True Touching Story" aired in Japan. The mother of the deceased son hasn't shown Randy his son's picture since his death because she thought it would depress the elephant.
She decides to show it to Randy now?
Yes, she does 13 years after his death.
Does Randy still remember her son 13 years after his death?
Yes, Randy still remembers him.

When the mother shows Randy a controlling stick that his son used to train Randy, the elephant remembers it.
How do you know?
... Cause the son used the stick differently from other trainers and he caressed the elephant with it gently and lovingly.

As if to show how the son did it, Randy rubs his front leg with the controlling stick in the manner the son did.

Randy even cries while doing so.

Wow! It's really touching, isn't it?
Yes, it is ... Well, I wanted to attend the event, but I didn't miss it 'cause I really enjoyed the movie and learned that the son really lived a good life with Randy, who remembers the son even 13 years after his death.
It's a heart-warming story, isn't it?
Yes, it is, but I really miss you, Diane.
Well ... we are always together virtually, aren't we?
Yes, yes, yes, ... but I'm talking about it in the real life.
【Himiko's Monologue】
What an amazing story it is!
I'm, of course, talking about Randy the elephant, who remembers his master 13 years after his death.
It is really fascinating and heart-warming story, isn't it?
In any case, I hope Kato will write another interesting article soon.
So please come back to see me.
Have a nice day!
Bye bye ...
