on the 15th of May in the jungle of Nool. In the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool, he was splashing, enjoying the jungle's great joys. When Horton the elephant, heard a small noise. So Horton stopped splashing. He looked toward the sound. That's funny, thought Horton. There's no one around. Then he heard it again, just a very faint yelp, as if some tiny person were calling for help. I'll help you, said Horton. But who are you? Where he looked and he looked. He could see nothing there but a small speck of dust blowing past through the air. I say, murmured Horton, 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, some sort of a creature of very small size, too small to be seen by an elephant size, some poor little person who shaking with fear that he'll blow in the pool. He has no way to steer. I'll just have to save him because, after all, ah person's a person, no matter how small, so gently and using the greatest of care.

Laughter sour kangaroo and the young kangaroo in her pouch set me to your the biggest blame fool in the jungle of Nool, and the kangaroos plunged in the cool of the pool. What a terrible splashing! The elephant frowned. I can't let my very small persons get drowned. I've got to protect them. I'm bigger than they. So he plucked up the clover and hustled away through the high jungle treetops. The news quickly spread. He talks to a dust speck. He's out of his head, just looking him Walk with that spec on that flower and Horton walked, worrying almost a Knauer. Should I put this speck down? Horton thought with alarm. If I do, these small persons may come to great harm. I can't put it down and I won't. After all, a person's a person, no matter how small.
