      Elephant discovers a tiny society on a speck of dust (his hearing is good) and has to protect it from a kangaroo (her hearing is not good).

    As amusing as this is, unfortunately no.

    Cosmic horror needs both cosmic and horror.

    Neither of those two stories are written or generally interpreted as horror.

      Iirc, it’s a children’s book about an elephant named Horton discovering a civilization of tiny creatures living on a planet the size of a speck of dust and protecting it from other animals.
