The Lorax warns him, but the Once-ler ignores his threats.ĭuring the night of his arrival, while he is peacefully sleeping, the Lorax, with the help of the Bar-ba-Loots, the Swommee Swans, and the Humming-Fish, take his bed and shove him into the river. The Once-Ler upon seeing the Truffula trees.Īs he chops down his first Truffula tree, the Lorax is summoned from thunder in the sky and forms in the tree stump. After a while of being pulled in his fully loaded cart by his mule while playing songs on his guitar, he stumbles upon "the most beautiful place he had ever seen." The valley was filled with Truffula trees, Bar-ba-Loots, Swommee Swans and Humming Fish which had nothing against him. Even so, Once-ler continued on his journey to find the perfect material for his Thneed. They all thought he would "result to nothing," so when the Once-Ler left to sell his invention, the Thneed, they were happy to laugh at his optimism. The Once-ler lived with his mother, his brothers Bret and Chet, his uncle Ubb, and his aunt Grizelda. And so, he gives the boy the very last Truffula seed for him to plant and take care of. In the end, the Once-ler realizes what it means: unless someone who cares enough to make a difference comes along, things will either remain as they are, or worsen until it's too late. The Once-ler alone remains, gazing upon the disintegrating ruins of his factories over the years and contemplating the meaning of this last message, perhaps with a sense of remorse. With all the trees gone, no more Thneeds can be made, so the Thneed factories close down and the Once-ler's family departs, leaving the Once-ler alone with the Lorax, who, looking back at the Once-ler sadly, picks himself up by the "seat of his pants" and floats away through a hole in the smog, leaving behind only a small pile of rocks with the word "UNLESS" inscribed into them. The Lorax's complaints, however, unhappily prove to be true just as the last Truffula Tree gets chopped down. Once-ler via a phone and informs him that Thneeds Inc.'s stock has risen 27 5/8 points and then dismisses the Lorax's pleadings and goes so far as to berate the Lorax for chastising his business practices and tells the Lorax is figuring on bigger-ing turning more Truffula Trees into Thneeds which everyone needs. The Once-ler begins to see the light but Ms. He then complains to him about his machinery making a goo by-product called "Gluppity Glup" and "Shloppity Shlop," and how it is being dumped into the ponds where the Humming-Fish live, leaving them unable to hum and forcing the Lorax to send them away too. The Once-ler says he’ll think about it, but the Lorax refuses to believe him this time. The Lorax contemplate his point, but says he wouldn’t know the answer to the problem. The Once-ler then says that shutting down his factory would put 100,000 workers out of a job, which would not be economically sound for the country. The Lorax eventually comes back complaining to the Once-ler that the factories are belching out so much "smogulous smoke" that it is giving the Swomee Swans sore throats, leaving them unable to sing, so the Lorax sends them off. Soon, the Once-ler's Thneed-making business has expanded tenfold and now uses delivery trucks to take out the shipments. At first, the Once-ler only shows a little remorse, but still focuses on expanding his business. The Lorax first complains to the Once-ler that the Truffula trees, being chopped down, were also the food source of the Bar-ba-Loots who are now facing a terrible food shortage and a disease called "the Crummies" because of "gas and no food in their tummies." To save them, the Lorax sends them off to find another food source. The Once-ler does not listen and continues to cut down trees to create Thneeds to sell.Īs the Once-ler's small shop grows into a factory and new equipment is being made to keep up with the demand for more Thneeds, signs of damage to the Truffula Forest become evident to the Lorax. He receives a warning about destroying the forest for his greedy plans. When he chops down a Truffula Tree, he finds The Lorax in the tree trunk. He decides to cut down one of the trees for his invention, the Thneed. One day, the Once-ler discovers a valley was full of beautiful Truffula Trees which the Bar-ba-Loots, Swommee Swans and Humming Fish inhabit.
