Now, I don’t know if elephants are really faithful 100% or not, but I know someone who is. “I meant what I said and I said what I meant. “I’ll stay on this egg and I won’t let it freeze,” he said with a sneeze. Winter came and icicles hung from Horton’s trunk and his feet, but still he remained faithful to his promise to Mayzie. In Florida, Mayzie had such fun that she decided she would never return to her nest.ĭays turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, but Horton kept sitting there, day after day. Horton objected at first, but Mayzie promised that she would not be gone long, so Horton finally agreed and soon he was sitting on the nest while Mayzie flew off to Florida for a vacation. Mayzie asked Horton if he would sit on her egg while she took a little rest. “I’d take a vacation, fly off for a rest if I could find someone to stay on my nest!” said Mayzie. Sitting on the egg was tiresome and boring and Mayzie hated it.

The story begins with a lazy bird named Mayzie sitting on her egg in a tree. Seuss? It is a wonderful story about an elephant named Horton. Have you ever read the story, “ Horton Hatches the Egg” by Dr.
