The Boy

Description of Role #4

The boy is just like you and me.  He is an average person that happens along 
to here this story about what the world was once like.  Although he has no 
responsibility for what happened, he is now greatly effected by the actions 
of others.

The boy is one of the potential customers of The Once-ler.  Would he have 
bought a Thneed?  Would he have found it necessary to buy what everyone else 
was buying?  More importantly, would the boy have even known what was 
happening to the truffula trees by purchasing a Thneed?

With all of this information, what should the boy do with last seed?
