Q. What is the moral issue that the story raises?

Ans. The story raises moral issues related to the different maturity levels. It examines that there is a sharp contrast between a child’s and an adult’s perspective of life. Children never like being hatred and there is no word like injustice in their dictionary. Here in in this story, Roger Skunk is a very obedient kid. But he is sad because he smells so bad that nobody likes to play with him. He feels humiliated. One day wizard changes Roger's awful smell to that of the roses due to which other small animals start playing with him happily. However, his mother compels the wizard to change his smell to the earlier foul one again. Jo, who is a four year old kid, cannot accept this version of the story and feels that the mother on her part is wrong.

On the contrary, Jack a typical father tries to justify the skunk’s mother and wants his daughter to believe that parents are always correct and they know what is best for their children.
