Help needed to make Christmas merry
In “Horton Hears a Who,” it was the tiniest of Whoville residents who made the difference.
While Horton the elephant could hear the Whoville folks from the beginning, vowing to protect them and keep them safe, no one else could hear them. They doubted their existence and did everything they could to separate the tiny world perched on a clover from its fierce elephant defender.
The clover is eventually dropped onto a field of clover, seeming indistinguishable from the rest. Horton, however, doesn’t give up. He searches, calling for the Whoville populace until his voice is hoarse. As he finds the right clover, the miscreants catch up with Horton and threaten to boil the clover in oil. He implores the mayor of Whoville to have everyone yell as loud as they could to help him convince the others of their existence.
