๐ Topic Summary
Every good story has a message, something it wants you to learn. This message is called the moral of the story. The moral teaches us about being kind, honest, brave, and other important things. Finding the moral means figuring out what the author wants us to understand from the story. Sometimes the moral is stated clearly, but other times, we need to look closely at what the characters do and how the story ends to figure it out!
