“And oldish.
And brownish. And mossy.
And he spoke with a voice that was sharpish and bossy. Mister! he said with a sawdusty sneeze,
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. And I'm asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs— he was very upset as he shouted and puffed— What's that THING you've made out of my Truffula tuft?” source
