Every Voice Counts

Every Voice Counts "Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!" Horton called. "Mr. Mayor! You've got to prove now that you really are there! So call a big meeting. Get everyone out. Make every Who holler! Make every Who shout! Make every Who scream! If you don't, every Who Is going to end up in a Beezle-Nut stew!" And, down on the dust speck, the scared little Mayor Quick called a big meeting in Who-ville Town Square. And his people cried loudly. They cried out in fear: "We are here! We are here! We are here! We are here!" The elephant smiled: "That was clear as a bell. You kangaroos surely heard that very well." "All I heard," snapped the big kangaroo, "was the breeze, And the faint sound of wind through the far-distant trees. I heard no small voices. And neither did you" ... Throughout the town rushed the Mayor, from the east to the west. But everyone seemed to be doing his best. Everyone seemed to be yapping or yipping! Everyone seemed to be beeping or bipping! But it wasn't enough, all this ruckus and roar! He HAD to find someone to help him make more. He raced through each building! He searched floor-to-floor! And, just as he felt he was getting nowhere, And almost about to give up in despair, He suddenly burst through a door and that Mayor Discovered one shirker! Quite hidden away In the Fairfax Aprtments (Apartment 12-J) A very small, very small shirker named Jo-Jo Was standing, just standing, and bouncing a Yo-Yo! Not making a sound! Not a yipp! Not a chirp! And the Mayor rushed inside and he grabbed the young twerp! And he climbed with the lad up the Eiffelberg Tower. "This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour! The time for all Whos who have blood that is red To come to the aid of their country!" he said. "We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts! So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!" Thus he spoke as he climbed. When they got to the top, The lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, "YOPP!" And the Yopp... That one small, extra Yopp put it over! Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover Their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean. And the elephant smiled. "Do you see what I mean?... They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small. And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!" Taken from "Horton Hears a Who!" by Dr. Seuss "A person's a person. No matter how small."
