''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.
You come across a clearing with a stump, covered with bright colored Truffla Trees . Every 15 minutes a fuzzy orange creature rises out of the stump. This is a combination of something like Turtle Talk with Crush and an animatronic. This is the Lorax, . He rotates through his warnings from the book and then he will engage in conversation. If you need to familiarize yourself with the story, head to the corner of the clearing, where built into a smaller version of the oncler’s house from the beginning of the book, there are winding phones built into the wall, which will retell the story.
Lorax’s Speeches
“""I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
And I'm asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs"
he was very upset as he shouted and puffed-
'Whal's that THING you've made out of my Truffla Tuft”
“"I'm the Lorax who speaks for the trees
which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please.
But I'm also in charge of the Brown Bar-ba-loots
who played in the shade in their Bar-ba-loot suits
and happily lived, eating Trufula Fruits.
"NOW ... thanks to your hacking my trees to the ground,
there's not enough Truffula Fruit to go 'round.
And my poor Bar-ba-loots are all getting the crummies
because they have gas, and no food, in their tummies!
''They loved living here. But I can't let them stay.
They'll have to find food. And I hope that they may.” ( When he says this the bright red bear type creature ( that’s an animatronic) that sits on the edge of the clearing grumbles.)
“ "Once-lerl You're making such smogulous smoke!
My poor Swomee-Swans ... why, they can't sing a note!
No one can sing who has smog in his throat.
"And so " said the Lorax , ,
"-please pardon my cough they cannot live here.
So I'm sending them off.
"Where will they go? ...
I don't hopefully know.
They may have to fly for a month ... or a year ...
To escape the smog you've smogged-up around here.”
Again an animatronic of the bright yellow swan that sits perched in a tree, coughs
“ ''What's more," snapped the Lorax. (His dander was up.)
''Let me say a few words about Gluppity-Glup.
Your machinery chugs on, day and night without stop
making Gluppity-Glupp. Also Schloppity-Schlopp.
And what do you do with this leftover goo? ...
I'll show you. You dirty old Once-ler man, you!
You’re glamping the pond where the poor humming fish hummed
No more can they hum. for their gills are all gummed
So I'm sending them off. Oh, their future is dreary.
They'll walk on their fins and get woefUlly weary
.in search of some water that isn't so smeary”
“"Now that youre here,
UNLESS
the word of the Lorrax seems perfectly clear.
someone like you
cares a whole awful lot
nothing is going to get better.
It's not.”
Then it wraps up will a talk about pollution and climate change and what universal is doing to help.
