  5. What is the main idea? • The Once-ler was chopping down all of the Truffula Trees to make Thneeds. • The Lorax tried to convince the Once-ler to stop cutting down the Truffula Trees, but he would not listen to the Lorax. • The Once-ler then made a factory to make more thneeds, ignoring the Lorax’s warnings.

  6. The Swamee-Swans had to leave because they could not sing with all of the smog in their throats. The Humming-Fish also had to leave because there was goo in their gills from the pond. • The Brown-bar-ba-loots • left first because there • wasn’t anymore Truffula • Fruit.

  7. In the end… • The Once-ler had cut down all of the Truffula Trees. • After all of the animals left and the Truffula trees were all gone, the Lorax decided to leave as well. • Since there wasn’t anymore Truffula Trees, the Once-ler’s factory had closed down. • The Once-ler had saved the last Truffula Seed and gave it to the young boy so that he could plant a forest of Truffula Trees.
