Horton Hatches the Egg Lines 91-115 Summary
Mo' Sitting, Mo' Problems
What jungle would be complete without some hunters?
It seems Horton doesn't have his back covered (or anybody else to watch it for him) because three hunters sneak up through the brush behind him.
These guys all look pretty similar, each with a mustache, pith helmet, shotgun, suit, and bowtie. Fancy stuff.
When Horton hears them, he turns—and finds himself staring down the barrels of three shotguns.
Guess what he does. We'll give you a hint: it doesn't involve the chicken dance.
Instead, he dares them to shoot him, once again proclaiming his undying elephant's faith to the egg.
Now that's gumption.
