What is your stance regarding the two endings to the Roger Skunk story?
It is quite obvious that whatever small children see or listen, they start thinking in that manner. So in the first ending of story when Skunk’s mother hit the wizard was wrong according to me as by this instance Jo could learn that hitting others is right doesn’t matter they didn’t had their fault.
But In the other ending that the wizard also hit back to mommy was also not right because Jo could learn that hitting elders or disrespecting elders is right.
But the story could be end like that mommy realized her mistake and get back the rose smell for her child.
