Ted, trying to save the Truffula trees (and Thneedville) with the one seed he has, tells the Once-ler, “Nobody cares about trees anymore!” The Once-ler says, “Then make them care! Plant the seed in the middle of town where everyone can see. People who care about others and their community don’t think or act in the way the Once-ler did.Ĥ. The Once-ler says that he has “done nothing illegal, I have my rights, and I intend to keep on biggering and biggering and turning more Truffula trees into Thneeds!” Is that true- Does it matter that he everything he has done has been legal? Talking About It - Just because something is legal doesn’t make it the right thing to do. We need to save as much water as we can, make sure we turn off lights and electronics when we’re not using them, and be aware of how much trash we make.ģ.

If you share a toy with a friend who wants to play with it, you don’t have a toy to play with, but you’re making the world a better place by being kind and thoughtful, and setting a good example for everyone around you.Ģ. Sometimes doing the right thing doesn’t benefit you. Most people get a little greedy from time to time, but it’s important to remember The Golden Rule: treat others as you would want others to treat you.

Does this make it okay? Talking About It - No. It’s easy for us to make excuses when we’re doing something that we know isn’t right, especially when it gets us something we want. Select questions appropriate for your child.ġ. → Always encourage your child to form opinions and to share them. The Once-ler asks “Who cares if a few trees are dying?” Why do we need trees? → Open-ended questions will help get a discussion going. → Exercise memory skills by asking about the story, the characters, and the plot.
