What is the moral issue that the story raises?  

Answer:

The characters in Jack's stories hold a transformed version of the narrator's views that he had derived from personal experience felling the story to his daughter, Jo, Jack tries to encourage goodness and decency. These characters react according to values based on personal conviction.   Similarly, in Roger Skunk's story, the skunk smelt so bad that none of the other little creatures would play with him. With the skunk's disgrace, Jack recalled his own humiliation as a child^ The wizard granted Roger Skunk his wish and soon he smelt of roses. He found friends now but the mother felt that he smelt awful. She took him back to that 'awful wizard', hit him and the wizard made Roger Skunk smell bad again.   When Jo felt that Roger Skunk's mommy was stupid, Jack emphatically defended her. He argued that the little skunk loved his mommy more than he loved all the other little animals and believed that his mommy knew what was right) Through his story, evidently, Jack reiterated the fact that parents know what is best for their children and advocates the unquestioning obedience of the children.
