      Voices: Horton!

      Horton looked up, noticing some creatures above him. One of them is a girl named Jessica Quilligan, the second is a wombat like creature called Tommy, the thrid is a small yellow yak named Katie, and the last one is a half elephant, half bird named Morton the Elephant Bird.

      Horton: Good morning, class. Morning, son.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Hey dad!

      Horton: You guys ready?

      All: Yeah!

      Horton: Come on down!

      They hopped onto Horton.

      Tommy the wombat: Look out below!

      Tommy landed on top of Horton.

      Horton: (grunting) Horton's here, that's for sure. (looks up) Katie, you there?

      Katie: Yeah.

      Horton: Okay.

      Sam: Hey, any chance we can join in this little fun?

      Horton: (yelps) Whoa! I didn't know we are getting guests here!

      Max: And I didn't know elephants can screw birds too!

      Morton the Elephant Bird: (confused) Screw birds?

      Danny: Don't mind Max. He's crazy.

      Psycho: I can't wait until I did a partner of my own to be my straight man. Maybe a weasel or something...

      June: Mind if we join in on what you're doing?

      Horton: Sure! The more, the merrier!

      Swiper: BTW, we're part of a group call Kouja no Senshi.

      A bit later, in the jungle, the group goes through the place.

      Horton: Okay, almsot there...

      Rini: So your dad hatch you when you were an egg?

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Yep! People laugh at him and even uncle Morton, the mouse dad named me after, said that some mean bird trick him to doing it. But dad refuse to give up or listen as his motto said 'an elephant is faithful 100%'.

      Mr. Scatterbrain: And I'm hungry 100%! Green Eggs and Ham?

      Mr. Scatterbrain holds up a plate with Green Eggs and Ham, making some of the group yelp in alarm.

      Mr. Grumpy: Gah, no way! I do not like Green Eggs and Ham! I do not like them here or there, I won't like them anywhere! I don't like Green Eggs and Ham, Scatterbrain I am!

      Max: (smirks) I have a hunch you will change your mind.

      Horton stopped the group.

      Horton: Shh. There it is.

      He crawled slowly to it with the others following to a leaf on a stick.

      Horton: This is one of the forest's most amazing creatures. The Leaf Bug. In order to protect itself from predators, it disguises itself as a leaf.

      The excited elephant touched the leaf, though it did not budge. He tried again, though it still did not budge.

      Horton: Hmmm.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Dad?

      Alf: Hey, shouldn't something happen?

      Horton tried it some more. He grunted, then climbed up the tree, starting to pull it.

      Horton: This one's got quite a grip on it.

      Stan: Dude, weak!

      Kyle: That's just a leaf, dude. Just drop it.

      Horton: (struggles) Come on, little buddy! Don't be shy!

      The leaf snapped off from his grip, forcing Horton to fall onto the ground. The leaf popped off as it flew away.

      Hope: Sometimes, you're silly, Horton.

      The elephant got up as he looked at them.

      Horton: I guess I was mistaken, everyone.

      As he spoke next, unknown to him, many leaf bugs landed all around him, much to the others' surprise.

      Horton: There are obviously no leaf bugs in this area.

      The others chuckled a bit.

      Horton: Even a pro-

      He then noticed the bugs on him as he yelped, screaming.

      Horton: AHHH! They're on me!

      Horton screamed, hopping as he tried shooing them off. Some of them felt off and landed right on Swiper.

      Swiper: (yelps) Gah! Some of them landed on me!

      Swiper and Horton scream as yhue tumbled and rolled. Just then, they accidentally swallowed a bug each, gasping. They got up, Horton hitting his head on a tree branch before he recovered as did Swiper.

      Horton: (grunting) I think I swallowed one!

      Swiper: Gah! So did I!

      He tried hacking it off before turning to the class.

      Swiper: Oh, help me! (points to his mouth) Take it out!

      The others backed away, leaving only a concerned Tommy the wombat and Digit.

      Digit: Uh...okay.

      The girls giggled a bit while Digit pulled hard inside Swiper's mouth while Tommy the wombat pulls inside Horton's. The others helped as the two grunted. They twirled as they laughed a bit, though the Kouja no Senshi and Morton the Elephant Bird, let go quickly as they heard something coming.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: (hearing something) Uh oh, I think I hear bad news coming.

      Rini: Oh my goodness, I hear it too.

      Stuipid: Duh, who?

      All while Katie chased the elephant and fox twirling the others. Meanwhile, some figures came through the forest.

      Rini: (narrating) Then, humphing a humph, was a sour kangaroo, it's true.

      A kangaroo glancing at the creature gasping at her approach. She is a strange-looking kangaroo with darkish purple fur, and maroon fur acting almost like a necklace around her neck, and a similarly-colored hairdo. This was Jane the Sour Kangaroo and current ruler.

      Jane: Hmph!

      Some of the animals hid in the jungle.

      Rini: (narrating) The type who's convinced she knows better than you.

      The birds scrambled while more hid.

      Rini: (narrating) She made every law, and enforced every rule.

      Horton trunted as the kids tried to get the item off of him and Swiper.

      Rini: (narrating) A self-proclaim head of the Jungle of Nool.

      The kangaroo glanced at the scene.

      Jane: Hmph!

      A little Joey in Jane's pouch named Rudy looks excited.

      Rudy: Why can'tI hang around with the other children especially that elephant and his son Morton, mom?

      Jane looked concerned at him.

      Jane: How many times have I told you that the jungle is no place to act like a wild animal?

      A turtle in some official clothes named Yertle nod in agreement.

      Yertle: I agree, also Horton is quite a nuisance and a bad influence.

      Rudy: He isn't that bad.

      Yertle: He sat on an egg for a couple of days! He has no place here! He should be kick out of the Jungle of Nool!

      Jane: (sighs) Unfortunately, I can't just kick him out without reason.

      Yertle: You got that guy thrown into a crazy circus or a zoo last week.

      Jane: I have to! He was being a menace! Besides, your comments come from someone who got overthrown as ruler of a pond after the turtle stacking incident.

      Yertle: (angry mark) Hey, I would have stay ruler if that idiot turtle at the bottom haven't burp at the wrong moment! At least I got a new job as your adviser, Miss Kangaroo.

      Finally, the elephant and fox forcefully tossed the laughing kids onto the leaves. The two landed on the ground, coughing out the bugs. Katie watched as it sprung back to life before she quickly ate it in one gulp.

      Tommy: Ewww.

      Some of the kids laughed as a female animal smiled at the scene.

      Female animal: My, that Horton really is essentric.

      The bird named Mrs. Quilligan nodded a bit.

      Mrs. Qilligan: No kidding. And the kids including those odd looking ones are learning so much from him.

      Jane: (rolls eyes) Learning to be a bunch of half-brained halfwits. And that's why my son Rudy is pouch schooled.

      Yertle: Better learn from his mother than a big fat imbecile. (to himself) And those newcomers are going to be trouble...

      Rini: (narrating) So while Jane stood there, sneering sneer.

      All while the others came to Horton, who panted.

      Marie: Are you okay, Horton?

      Tommy the wombat: (grins) Horton, that was the best time I ever had in my life! What are you gonna show us next?

      Max: If you want, we can show you our guns!

      Sam: Whoa, whoa, Max! This isn't like Career Day when we fought that big headed planet eater.

      Max: Try saying that a hundred times fast.

      Just then, a familiar speck flew by.

      Rini: (narrating) Once again, the speck floated right by Horton's ear.

      Voice in Speck: (small voice) Help!

      Horton and Swiper, hearing it, gasped. They then noticed the speck.

      Rini: (narrating) Then he, along with Swiper, heard it again, just a very faint yelp
      As if some tiny person were calling for help.

      Swiper, in his Chibi thought bubble, imagined a little creature screaming. He grinned a little bit.

      Rini: (Narrating) And you know what they thought?
      Why they thought that there was someone on top of that small speck of dust

      They noticed Katie noticing the speck coming to her.

      Rini: (narrating) Or even a family, it just might, it just might be so
      A family with children, just starting to grow.

      Hortonr imagined, in his Chibi thought bubble, the person with many children.

      Kid: (in thought bubble) I wanna live!

      Horton and Swiper gasped in worry. They looked at the speck before looking at the class.

      Horton: Uh, okay. I gotta go. Katie, you're in charge!

      He and Swiper dashed after the speck.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Dad, wait up!!

      June: Come back you two!

      The group followed him as the others looked at Katie, who only showed the bug in her tongue before it flew out, much to their fright. All while Horton and Swiper chased the speck.

      Horton: Wait! Come back!

      They jumped after it, avoiding the kangaroos, urtle and mothers, though they splashed into the water. They noticed the speck going into the water, much to his worry. Quickly, Swiper took out a straw and gulped a huge amount of water, enough to let the speck go safely. He groaned a bit before noticing the speck, trying to catch it.

      Swiper: Yipes!

      Wise Guy: (sweatdrop) Okay, I don't even want to know how he just did that.

      Finally, Horton caught it before he sighed, though his breath was too close as the speck flew away. The elephant yelped. He continued to chase after it with the others following.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Dad, Swiper, come back!

      Rini: I wonder what's going on with that speck?
