प्रश्न
Why do you think the wizard tolerated the beating and agreed to the mother's demand?
उत्तर
Jack, the storyteller, intended to demonstrate that moms are always right and that we should accept what is natural, so the wizard put up with the thrashing and complied with the mother's request. The wizard also recognises the significance and subtly transforms Skunk's rose scent into his authentic Skunk aroma.
