The story could’ve ended in a way that Jo considers to be a happy ending. According to Jo, Mommy Skunk is extremely foolish in asking the wizard to take away the smell of roses from Roger. She is furious about mommy Skunk’s decision and wants her dad to change the course of the story. The story could’ve continued with mommy Skunk being really happy with the new smell that her son has. She could visit the wizard only to thank him for making his son smell so nice. But the story changed its course and made Jo learn a lesson.
