"Look, Lorax," I said. "There's no cause for alarm. I chopped just one tree. I am doing no harm. I'm being quite useful. This thing is a Thneed. A Thneed's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!!! It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat. But it has other uses. Yes, far beyond that.
You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets!
Or curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!"
The Lorax said "Sir! You are crazy with Greed. There is no one on earth
who would buy that fool Thneed!"
But the very next minute I proved him wrong. For, just that minute, a chap came along, and he thought that Thneed I had knitted was great. He happily bought it for three ninety-eight.
I laughed at the Lorax, "You poor stupid guy! You can never tell what some people will buy."
