Horton finds a speck, and knows that someone is living on it. He knows because he talked to the mayer that lives on the speck. The place on the speck is called WhoVille. The mayer tells Horton that Horton needs to find a sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza place for the speck o the speck will be destroyed.

So Horton Is traveling up a collina to a sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza place for the speck. But the aspro, acida canguro doesn't want Horton "rotting the childerens brains". she wants that speck destroyed. so she sent a bird to go get the speck, and have it destroyed. So when horton is almost there the bird comes and drops the clover/speck in with millions of other clovers.

horton startes looking right away, but with millions of clovers its almost impossiable. then when he is about to give up he finds it. But then,again, the clover gets taken, and is about to get boiled because of the aspro, acida kangaroo. but then the people of whoville make lots of nosie so the aspro, acida canguro can hear them. then they are saved and they can live happily over after.
