<P> The Once - ler tells the boy of his arrival in a beautiful valley containing a forest of Truffula trees and a range of animals . The Once - ler , having long searched for such a tree as the Truffula , chops one down and uses its silk - like foliage to knit a Thneed , an impossibly versatile garment . The Lorax , who `` speaks for the trees '' as they have no tongues , emerges from the stump of the Truffula and voices his disapproval both of the sacrifice of the tree and of the Thneed itself . However , the first other person to happen by purchases the Thneed for $3.98 , so the Once - ler is encouraged and starts a business making and selling Thneeds . </P>
