"This thing is a Thneed. A Thneed's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need! It’s a shirt. It's a sock. It's a
glove. It's a hat. But it has other uses. Yes, far beyond that. You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets!
Or curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!"
The Lorax said, "Sir! You are crazy with greed. There is no one on earth who would buy that fool Thneed!"
But the very next minute I proved he was wrong. For, just at that minute, a chap came along, and he thought
that the Thneed I had knitted was great. He happily bought it for three ninety-eight. I laughed at the Lorax, "You
poor stupid guy! You never can tell what some people will buy."
The birth of an industry you poor stupid guy! You tell me what the public will buy?!
