The Lorax Comes Back
The last Truffula Tree seed fell into my palm as the Once-ler quieted down and closed his shutters.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing will get better. It's not.
The Once-ler said that when he saw me, he finally understood what unless meant. He believed that I could fix all of what he had destroyed, meaning I have to plant the seed then I must nurture it and when it produces seeds, I must plant them all and make a forest. Then, hopefully, the Lorax may come back with his Brown Bar Ba Loots and Swomee-Swans and Humming-fish.
I told everyone I saw what I had heard at the Once-lers, but nobody believed me. I didn't show anyone the seed. Not even my very, very best friend, Macii.
"No, really, Macii, please believe me! Im telling you the truth!" I pleaded after explaining everything to Macii.
"Sure, sure. Then where is the seed? You said he gave you a seed. Show me the proof," Macii said sincerely curious.
"I cant."
"Cant what?"
"Show you the seed, I wish I could but I cant,"
"Fine. Bring me with you, I want to go,"
"No. It will be a very long journey, your parents will miss you," I protested.
"And yours wont? I don't care about long journeys. they excite me!"
I finally gave in and we grabbed our bicycles and rode on them for hundreds of miles, looking for and area that does not have the smog clouding the sky. Finally, Macii and I come to a vast field with skies so clear and blue that we aresure that the Swomee-Swans would love this place. It had a humongous pond that was bigger than the town where
Macii and I live. The Humming-Fish will swim happily forever. I am absolutly positive that the Brown Bar Ba loots will frolic playfully for as long as they want then sleep in the shade of the truffula trees.
"Where are you going to plant it?" Macii asked.
"Over there, by that pond," I replied.
Macii and I walked over and I squatted down and started digging. Once the hole was complete, I placed the Truffula seed gently in it, and stood back.
The seed sprouted a minute later, then as it grew, it's tuff changed colors, from gray to brown to dark blue to
hot pink then finally to a Easter purple. The first Truffula Tree was planted. And it already had grown! The Lorax will definitely come back now!
I was gazing at the tree when I got the feeling someone or something was watching me.
