Can you look at the pictures?

Yeah.

Side lazy.

A lazy bird hatching an egg.

I'm tired and I'm bored and I have kinks in my leg from sitting just sitting here day after day.

It's work.

How I hate it.

I'd much rather play.

It's.

A lot of people think a Doctor Seuss merely wrote for children, and he did write for children, but he wrote for children of all ages, and the themes of his stories really apply as much to adults as it does to children.

The elephant laughed.

Why, of all silly things, I have it feathers and I have it wings.

Me and Doctor Susan's a brilliant man.

In my my opinion, he's probably one the most brilliant minds of the 20th century because he tackles really complex issues and messy.

I know you're not small, but I'm sure you can do it.

No trouble at all.

The first story he wrote was called A Story That Can't Be Beat.

And, he presented it to different publishing corporations and people like that and said, they won't sell.

People won't read it.

You know, it doesn't make sense.

Your illustration isn't normal.

And and they rejected him.

Did he run?

He did not.

Horton stayed on that nest.

He held his head high and he threw out his chest.

And he looked at the hunters as much as to say, shoot.

After my spirit, I won't run away.

Oh, I muttered, I said what I said, what I meant an elephant fight for 100%.

And you know, we can't imagine anyone rejecting the Dr.

Seuss because we celebrate his life with, you know, public schools celebrate his life with much more fanfare than even presidents.

Have you ever heard the name Seuss?

Doctor Seuss?

On the faraway island, a solemn thousand years ago, the turtle was king of the pond.

A nice little pond.

It was clean.

It was neat.

The water was warm.

There was plenty to eat.

The turtle.

When I was in high school, I was involved in drama and theatrics, and I ended up memorizing the story.

And so, different people would find out that I had this Dr.

Seuss book memorized and performed it one after the other.

They climbed up the stack.

Then nerd told the turtle was perched up so high he could see 40 miles from his throne in the sky.

I'm a professional storyteller, and I. I do Doctor Seuss, and all through that morning he sat up there high saying over and over, oh great King am I by going to public schools and and private school.

I've done all different types and kinds of functions that I tell, entire books and, perform them or do audience participation.

I use props, limited props, that is.

And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning a swimmer.

Well, I love to entertain.

I've always been an entertainer.

And and and I'm telling my stories.

And you this kids are getting into it.

I mean, that's that's where I get my my pay.

Oh, I think they thoroughly enjoyed it.

I thought they found humor and I think they liked the message.

And I think they felt like I did.

Oh, that it was interesting that the characters came alive.

They came completely alive.

Yeah.

Lots of people came in and or just read a story.

But I breathed life into by giving them voices and contorting my body and acting like an idiot.

It makes it come alive.

Saying, here, Your Majesty, please silence the king at the turtle's back.

I'm king and you're only a turtle named Mac.

You stay in the way he did it, I think really hits home and brought it more to, to life.

I mean, I think it'll be bring meaning to them.

I mean, I would hope that Dr.

Seuss would be honored by my presentation, but they didn't know.

I knew better than that.

My throne shall be higher.

His royal voice thundered.

So, pilot, more turtles!

I want about 200 turtles.

More turtles!

While he does the voices, and he does a lot of stuff with it to have somebody like Tim, be able to come in and children get to see, a diverse of creativity, and they get to see somebody in front of them that has a whole new level of energy and excitement, all of them stamped on the head, and poor special guests bring a whole new, excitement.

You can build an anticipation with the children and so they like a variety, and different excitement levels.

They drop their three guns and they stare with wide eyes.

Look, they all shouted can such a thing.

Me and the elephant sitting on top of a tree.

And strange, amazing, wonderful news.

Don't shoot him.

We'll catch him.

That's just what we're doing.

It taught me to be faithful.

Even though that you said something that takes a long time to do and you really don't want to do it.

And you like when do something else.

But you have to do it.

You said.

But Horton said, day after day after day, I meant what I said, and I said, well, I'm busy, but oh, am I the seasick 100 percent green?

When I came in with the Dr.

Seuss program I'm doing all kinds of things.

I'm inspiring them.

I'm educating them on the life of Doctor Seuss as well as when they leave.

Hopefully they're going to hit the library and say, hey, or is that book I want you to learn the lessons found within these Seuss stories.

If they make a commitment to do so and they stick to it for children, and they're faithful to that commitment, and they can achieve so many things for me, first of all, I'm there to just present a good moral message.

Whenever you make a commitment, you must stick to it.

Everyone say that stick to it.

He has funny voices, so it was very funny.

I like all the funny how they he makes the characters seem to say, but what I said and I said what I meant, and ian elephant is faithful 100%.

I feel I have a gift and I feel like it's God given.

She snatched those berries.

It grew on that vine.

She got one down for five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Doctor six.

He wrote these these books.

There's a moral to so many have, and some of them are just entertaining.

And some of them it's kind of hard to find the moral, but there are some that have a powerful message.

They looked and they stand with their eyes popping out, and they cheered and they cheered and they cheered more and more.

They've never seen anything like it before.

My goodness.

Like, gracious, they shouted my word.

It's something brand new.

It's an elephant bird.

And it should be, it should be, it should be.

It should be like that.

And, so I guess it that one story is, captured my imagination.

It is a complex character.

And I think he, he tells some powerful stories and, and, communicate some wonderful morals.

And I think he saw the.

I think he saw that he had an ability and he had a power to influence.

Hilarious.

One.

But when the sign says so, okay, I don't know where I'll be in 10 years And when you're in a slump, I'm sure I'll still be doing this, because there will be kids around and I'll pull out some feathers and throw them in the air and watch their eyes at the king.

And he looked down the stack, and he saw at the bottom a turtle named Mac, just a pa.

Do you think you could do a story like that?

You know?

Oh, I bet you could.

I bet you could.

Oh, forget me, I know, I know that, but hopefully they will never forget that message.

And will you succeed?

Yes, you will indeed.

98 three fourths percent guaranteed.

I think down.
