On the way to find the tree, he found that his town had been artificially cut off, and things seemed even more strange. Soon after, he ran into a reclusive wise man who told him about The Lorax. Old Leis is a grumpy, but kind-hearted creature, guarding the land, trees and a group of small animals. But when merchants from other places came here with some "revolutionary" inventions, the trees were felled and the animals lost their shelter. Then, it directly led to the loneliness and loneliness of the village where Ted was located.
After talking about The Lorax, the reclusive wise man gave Ted a tree seed. He hoped that Ted could go back and bring life back to the village. Ted, who had returned to his hometown, was not welcomed and courteous. The village chief and wealthy businessmen arrested him because these people did not want outsiders to know that there was still an old Lei.
