Jack used to tell his little daughter Jo, bedtime stories. As soon as she grew a bit older, she began to ask questions from her father. Once her father told her a story of a little animal called Skunk who smelled bad. He, therefore, met with a wizard who solved his problem with a magic wand and made him smell like roses. But the Skunk’s mother did not like it and took him back to the wizard to smell bad once again.
This ending was not acceptable to Jo as she wanted the story to have another ending where the wizard would hit the mommy with his magic wand and shop off her arms ‘forcibly.’ Jo thought that Roger was the hero of the story so he must not look ugly; or stinky. Jo’s perspective on life was different from her father’s. She wanted the wizard to hit mommy on the head as a punishment as she imposed her will on her son unnecessarily. According to Jo, Roger should be allowed to choose his own life. Moreover, she didn’t want the story to end sadly.
She wanted to change the end of the story to assert her views on her father. She had her own ideas and views which she wanted to pursue.
