He lets something fall. It’s a Truffula Seed.
It’s the last one of all! You’re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back.”
― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
