Answer: It is never specified in the book

The boy is the one the Once-ler gives the very last Truffula seed to.

3. What does the Once-ler do with what you've paid him?

Answer: Hides it in his Snuvv

Dr. Seuss describes it as 'the secret strange hole in his gruvvulous glove'.

4. What are the birds of the forest called?

They are the ones who get driven out by the smog.

5. What colour was the first 'Thneed' knitted by the Once-ler?

Most of the 'Thneeds' were pink. However, different colours, like yellow and orange, are shown as well.

6. What did the Once-ler not mention the Thneed was capable of turning into?

Answer: Skirt

The Once-ler mentioned several things including: a shirt, a sock, a glove, a hat, carpets, pillows, sheets, curtains, and covers for bicycle seats.

7. What machine did the Once-ler invent which allowed him to chop four trees at a time?

Answer: The Super-Axe-Hacker

You can tell the Once-ler was a greedy and heartless being for carelessly chopping down all the beautiful trees of the forest for his financial gain.

8. What transportation device did the Once-ler come into the forest with?

Answer: A wagon

The Once-ler's humble wagon shows us he wasn't very rich before he invented the 'Thneed'.

9. After the Once-ler finished knitting his 'Thneed', he saw the Lorax come out of somewhere. What did he come out of?

Answer: A tree stump

The Lorax was appalled to see that the Once-ler had turned a beautiful Truffula tuft into a strange looking, tangly 'Thneed'.

10. Finish this line: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot nothing is going to get better...."

Answer: It's not

After he departed, the Lorax left the word 'Unless' on a pile of rocks for the Once-ler to think about. After years of trying to figure out what it meant, the Once-ler finally knows why he put it there. He gives the boy a Truffula seed, and the story ends on a positive note with the mystery of whether or not the Lorax returns.
