This classic is not only fun, but a great way to introduce thoughtful children to essentially philosophical questions. But worse is in store: an eagle carries away the clover in which Horton has placed the life-bearing speck, and 'let that small clover drop somewhere inside / of a great patch of clovers a hundred miles wide!' Horton wins in the end, after persuading the 'Who's' to make as much noise as possible and prove their existence.
