Horton:
On the fifteenth of May, in the jungle of Nool, in the HEAT of the day. In the
cool of the pool, I was splashing!
Jungle
Creature: SPLASH!
Horton: I was just enjoying the grand joys of the jungle, when…
Jojo: Horton the Elephant!
Jungle Creature: Horton the Elephant!
Horton: I heard a very small noise!
Cat (as Mayor): Help! Help!
Jungle Creature: So, he stopped splashing and he looked toward
that sound. And he thought…
Horton: That’s funny, there’s no one around
Cat: He heard this very faint yelp again as if…
Horton: Some tiny person were calling for help!
Cat (as Mayor): Help! Help!
Horton: I’ll help you! But who are you and where are you?
Cat: He looked and looked, but he could see nothing there, but a
small speck of dust blowing past through the air!
Horton: How Confusing! I’ve never heard tell of a small speck of
dust that is able to yell, so you know what I think? Why I think that there
must be someone on top of that small speck of dust!
Cat (Gasps): No!
Horton: Yes! Some poor little person who's shaking with fear that
he'll blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! He's alone in the universe!
I'LL JUST HAVE TO SAVE HIM BECAUSE AFTER ALL, A PERSON'S A PERSON, NO MATTER
HOW SMALL. A PERSON'S A PERSON NO MATTER HOW-
Cat: SMALL! (JOJO says) What
happened next?
Jungle: Gently, and using the greatest of care, the elephant
stretched his great trunk through the air…
Cat: And he lifted the dust speck and carried it over, and placed
it down…
Horton: SAFE!
Cat: Yes, on a very soft clover!
