The moral of a story is the lesson or message the author wants to share with the reader. It's the underlying meaning that teaches us about life, values, and how to make good choices. Identifying the moral helps us understand the story on a deeper level and apply its wisdom to our own lives. Sometimes the moral is stated directly, but more often, it's implied through the characters' actions and the story's events. Knowing how to find the moral makes us better readers and thinkers.
