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.

The crofter was very talkative and friendly with the peddler because he was a lonely man and lived alone in the cottage. He had no wife or children. So he was happy as he had someone to give him company.

Political agitation is a form of political protest, resistance and contentious behaviour. The political agitator is often fundamentally disenchanted with certain actions or inactions of the political class, and he seeks redress to them in means acceptable to him.

The author has used the device of irony in order to highlight the satire on the conceit of those who are in power. The king is portrayed as an extremely conceited person from the very beginning of the lesson. A ten-day-old infant pronounces the words 'Let tigers beware!' and challenges to prove the prediction made by the State astrologer wrong. His killing of more than seventy tigers within a period of ten years ,bringing the entire species close to extinction and marrying  a royal princess, just for the sake of his convenience of killing more tigers in her father's kingdom, exercising his authority to punish or levy tax on people, flaunting his richness by sending about fifty expensive diamond rings to the British officer's wife and spending three lakh rupees on the jewelry,  show his conceit. He does nothing for the sake of the people in the capacity of a king.

With reference to the lesson, yes, we can say that the people in power to take advantage of their status and hence the people under their influence suffer. The less influential or the common people cannot raise their voice against the injustice meted out to them just like the king's minions.
