Page 3 - Microsoft Word - LESSON NOTES-SHOULD WIZARD HIT MOMMY

. Then Jo started imagining her own story about how the wizard would have hit the mommie
skunk back and never changed Roger Skunk back. Her father told her that nothing of that sort
happened and the wizard changed Roger Skunk back to normal and he did not smell of roses
anymore.

Another question was about to pop up in little Jo’s mind but Jack stopped her and told her
that it was his story and if she wanted him to tell her anymore stories, then she should keep
quiet. Jo kept on looking at her father with great surprise as she waited for the story to be
continued.

After some time when Roger skunk and his mum were going back home, they heard a Woo-
ooo, Woo-oo sound as his father arrived back from Boston.

Then all of them had lima beans,celery, liver and mashed potatoes for dinner and Pie-Oh-My
for desert.

JACK’S ENDING TO THE ROGER SKUNK STORY

Later that night when Roger Skunk was sleeping, Mom skunk came back. She hugged him and
told him that he smelled again like her baby skunk and that she loved him a lot. With this Jack
ended the story to which Jo again asked that did the other animals run away from Roger skunk
again and Jack replied ‘no’ because they slowly got accustomed to the smell so they did not
feel like running away anymore.

When Jack said that eventually everybody started liking Roger skunk, Jo did not understand
the word eventually as she had heard it for the first time. So she asked what's ‘Evenshiladee’
to which Jack told her the meaning.

But Jo thought that what Mommie skunk did was not right and said that what the mother
skunk did was stupid but Jack took it personally and said ‘no’ because somewhere he was
relating it to himself and defending his own mother.
Then Jack told Jo that he wanted her to take a long day nap and adjusted the shades so that
no light came in. He then went very softly to the door and acted as if Jo had slept but when
he turned and looked, she was staring at him and sitting on top of the covers.

Then he told her to go to sleep as she was also disturbing her brother who was sleeping. Then
she stood up and started bouncing softly on the springs. While Jumping on the springs of the
bed she asked her father to tell her a story the next day – that the wizard took her magic stick
and hit the mommy and chopped her plump arms.

JACK’S ATTEMPT TO IMBIBE THE MORAL VALUES

Then Jack explained to her that this was not what the story said. He told her that the story
gave us a message that the skunk loved his mother more than any of the other animals in the
woods and that his mother knew what was right for him and what was not.
Then as he was explaining Jo about the story, she started insisting that the next day he would
have to tell her a story like the one she wanted.

Then she started throwing tantrums as she had done many times earlier but thisT time she
was not laughing or joking. She was being a bit stubborn.
