What is your stance regarding the …

Considering the tender age of Jo, both the endings seem a little irrational. In Roger Skunk's story  'Should Wizard Hit  Mommy' we can note that it provides two possible endings. In the first ending, Roger Skunk is made to smell like roses by the Wizard through his magical wand. He should retain the same smell as he needs the company of other animals to play with them. But his mother is deeply enraged at this  'awful smell' It is certain that Jo will be learning from whatever she hears and visualizes at this age. If the story ends according to Jack, Jo will never be able to question anything she considers wrong in life since this ending stresses that elders are always right in whatever they do. In addition, the story shows the Skunk’s Mommy hitting the wizard for no fault of his. The wizard does what he is asked to. This may scare the four-years-old Jo, as it teaches that mothers, being elders, have the right to hit anyone, even if they are not at fault.
On the contrary, if the story ends as Jo wanted it to, it will stop her from believing in and respecting her elders. She may even start believing that there is nothing wrong in hitting elders. A balanced view may be given in an apt ending where the mommy either does not hit the wizard at all or realizes her mistake soon.
