Horton Hatches the Egg1942

Narrator:
But, while Horton sat there so faithful, so kind, three hunters came sneaking up softly behind.

[They sneak up in the jungle with their elephant gun to make an aim at Horton]

Narrator:
He heard the men's footsteps, he turned with a start! A rifle was aiming right strait at his heart! Did he run? No, not Horton. He stayed on that nest, he held his head high and he threw out his chest, and looked at the hunters and he said, plain as day.

Horton:
Shoot if you must, but I won't run away!

Narrator:
But, the men didn't shoot, much to Horton's surprise, they lowered the gun, and they stared with wide eyes.

Hunter #1:
We'll take him away, why, he's terribly funny!

Hunter #2:
We'll sell him back home!

Hunter #3:
To a circus for money!

Hunter #1:
You're coming with us!

Hunters:
To join the big show!

Narrator:
But, Horton just answered...

Horton:
You can't make me go!

Hunters:
Oh, yes we can!

Horton:
Oh, no you can't!

Hunters:
Oh, yes we can!

Horton:
Oh, no you can't!

Hunters:
Oh, yes we can!

Horton:
Oh, no you can't! Oh, no! [the hunters carried Horton in a wagon while he's still sitting on the egg in the nest] Oh, yes they can.
