Over the past few days the family began harvesting the ruffs of the truffula tree. Ash, Lorax, and I were grateful that the Once-Ler was actually keeping his promise.

    "What's that sound?" Ash asked, looking up from our conversation, I strained my ears to listen.

   Thunk.

Oh no.....birds started to fly away from the source. The small bears ran away totheir hiding spots, Pipsqueak jumped off my shoulder to join his friends.

From where Ash and I sat at the top of a tree, dozens of treetops were disappearing;they were being cut.

    "Please....no....." I muttered. Ash disappeared to the bottom of the tree and started running. When I finally caught up with him the Lorax was thrown away to the sky because of Griselda.

  "You get Lorax,I'm talking to the Once-Ler." I told Ash, we parted ways.

    I successfully managed to make it past the evil-I mean aunt Griselda, tears were stinging into my eyes and running down my cheeks as I bursted through the doors of the Once-Ler's house.

  "What are you doing?This is not part of the deal!!!" I shouted, Once-Ler was sitting on a chair with a design of a factory infront of him.

     He turned to me with a not so promising glare on his face. "I'm doing what's best for the company."

"But is it best for the forest?" I started, the tears were turning into a river. "My home? My family?!"

  He didn't pay attention, Once-Ler was too busy picking up his electric guitar. I raced over and tugged at his arm. "You promised!!"

   "ENOUGH!!!" He bellowed, throwing his arm away from me. With the force of his arm, I was thrown away from him, I felt a snap in my arm as I hit the wall.

    My eyes widened in pain as I cradled my arm, The Once-Ler didn't seem to notice.

    "I'm not the bad guy here." He snapped, finally grabbing his guitar and left. Without hesitation I left the house and to Ash and Lorax, who were trying to find some new homes for the birds who's tree nests were cut down.

    "He's not changing his mind." I said glumly as I walked next to Lorax,Pipsqueak was next to him. "Your arm?"  Ash asked, reaching over to check it but I pulled it back.

   "It's alright.just help me with my jacket."

    Seconds later my black jacket was being used for a swing. Pipsqueak was carefully sitting on my left shoulder instead of my right.

    "Let's try to stop all this." I announced, glancing back at the Once-Ler's house.
