The Nail

I sat in my room, staring at my ceiling. I thought about what the Lorax had said. Is the only way to save the trees to leave?

After our conversation the Lorax had turned away from me, looking remorseful. I picked up a nail on the way inside that was sticking out of a piece of wood in my destroyed garden.

Looking up, I really did believe the Lorax. The Onceler needed to leave. So did his family. So did I.

Someone knocked on my door. I sat up. "Hello?"

"It's me," the Onceler said. "Can I come in?"

"Yes!" I yelled. He walked in happily. He came and sat on the end of my bed. "Thneed tm is biggering." He said. "I'm going to build another factory to keep up with demand. Do you think you'll be able to manage all that."

"No," I said. "We have to find a new thneed material."

He looked surprised. "What? I thought you were loving the progress on growth?"

"I am. Though the trees are dying."

"Have you been talking to the Lorax? What did he say to you?"

"The trees are almost gone. The pond looks brown. The sky hasn't been blue in so long. The way we are doing things is ruining the environment, and the lives of others. Like the barbaloots." 

I twirled my hair nervously.

The Onceler brushed it off. "It's fine. There's plenty of trees." He chuckled.  "Don't worry."

I handed him the nail from the garden. "You're brother destroyed the garden." I paused and then threw my arms up almost having a temper tantrum.

"Why can't you believe me. You don't go outside except to get in you're limo." I started crying. "You're so talented. You can cook, knit, make blueprints,  build tiny houses, move full logs, draw and you're also just so cool. So please, forget you're family. They're using you. They can hurt you. Please, Once. Listen to me, please. I'm begging you."

He looked down at the nail I gave him.

"Okay. I will. For you."
