3.What is the moral of the story? What lesson does the story try to

"language is the only weapon a child has against the absolute power
of adults." Language is the best weapon a person can have. Its more
powerful than your fists, a knife, or even a gun because it gives
you the power to make people think the way you want them to. However,
the only way you can use this weapon is by building your vocabulary
so that you can express yourself. The only way to build your vocabulary
is to read. |
