Hello Readers,
I once read a book that had an elephant named Horton who chased a clover because he thought a tiny person on that clover had called for help. Everyone around him called him crazy but he believed what he had heard and kept saying, “A person’s a person no matter how small” and worked towards saving those little people onboard the clover. He fought an army of Stabbington Brothers (monkeys) and tried his best to persuade Sour Kangaroo who wanted Horton to stop his antics. She believed he was disturbing the peace of her jungle. In the end, Horton encouraged the little beings to make themselves be heard so that the animals in the jungle can hear them and believe that they really do exist. The little beings did that, and everything was fine in the end.
Why am I telling you about this story? Because I loved the story. After reading it I started to see everything with an awe, with a possibility that it might be much more than it seems, just like the tiny clover was a whole wide world for some tiny people. And also, because today is the author’s birthday. The book that I read was ‘Horton hears a Who’ and it was written by Theodore Seuss Ted Geisel, lovingly known by all the children as ‘Dr. Seuss’.
I am sure most of you would already know a lot about him and his work, and those of you who do not know, take this as an opportunity to immerse into the wildly imaginative and beautiful world of Dr Seuss.
Enjoy the edition!
