ok a little Sues explaination: Most people are familiar with the Grinch. Now the Grinch went to Whosville to steal the presents. Whosville is populated by Whos. Whos live in Whosville. Whosville exists on a flower (yes it is a small town). This flower was found by an elephant who, due to his large ears heard the Whos in whosville and ultimatly saved them from being boiled alive. The elephants name was Horton and this story was told in the Dr. Sues book "Horton Hears a Who" Does that explain it?
