MORAL The moral of the story is to not judge a book by its cover, and to give people or things a chance before you push it away. The man gave her a chance while everyone judged her for being motherless and disabled and unwashed. A moral message I learned from this text is that everyone must be kind, caring, and helpful to one another even if that person is poor or a hopelessly diseased child.
