2. What does Jack want to convey through the story

of Roger Skunk?

He wants to teach her that parents are always right. They have experience in this world, and know what is truly best for them. Hence in the story, he made the mother skunk hit the wizard over the head and change roger skunk back to how he should have smelled.

He also wanted to convey that you should always be yourself. If someone only becomes your friend when you change for them, then they aren't your true friends. True friends are those who accept you for who you are, not for who you're not.
