Later that same evening, gathering up the Truffula tree fluff from earlier, the Onceler finally finishes knitting and stitching up his first ever Thneed.
"Now THAT'S what you call a Thneed. Yessir. 😩✨"
He then places it gently on the side table next to his bed. "Perfect."
He falls asleep peacefully, but he was NOT ready for the following that would be happening later tonight.

In order to get revenge on the Onceler, the Lorax and the animals sneaked in his tent home to take his bed and put it in the river, to take him away from the forest "peacefully". Well that's what they thought was gonna happen. 😅
The animals firstly took his bed, the Lorax guiding them carefully, but they didn't really listen...
After a few bumps and crashes, they finally manage to get his bed in the river, sliding it in slowly...
The Onceler suddenly began to feel cold from the animals stealing his soft blanket, shivering. The river suddenly became quite violent, gushing, cold water moving his bed further downstream, towards the waterfall.
"OH NO, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT HAPPENING." The Lorax yelled out in fear that he was literally going to kill the Onceler by drowning and injuring him down the waterfall.
The Onceler's bed goes underwater from a huge wave in the river suddenly. He then wakes up, disturbed and soaked from the water.
"Wait...why am i wet?" He now notices where he is, confused on how he ended up here. He then looks forward and sees the end of the river, leading down the waterfall.
"HELP ME THIS IS NOT GOOD UM WHAT DO I DO????"
He looks by his side and notices the Lorax and the animals, making him even MORE confused as to why they are also there just watching. Did they plan this to happen to him?
"WELL DO SOMETHING THEN?!"
"WE'RE COMING TO SAVE YOU!" The Lorax yells nervously.
The Lorax grabs a stick and pulls him over to the land, the Onceler jumps out of his bed, and the bed falls down the waterfall aesthetically.
"Woah. YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!" The Onceler screams in relieved joy.
"Well it was nothing really."
He hugs the Lorax happily while saying, "ARE YOU SURE?? YOU LITERALLY SAVED ME FROM FALLING DOWN THAT WATERFALL!" He exclaims, his voice coming out muffled, as his head was buried into the Lorax's silky fur.
He lets go of the Lorax now. "Now, if you don't mind, i need to get some sleep...after i find my bed. I could use some help you know."
"Of course."
