If the story is about the long - haired girl being bullied because of her long hair at first but then learning to be proud of it, the moral could be self - acceptance. It shows that we should embrace what makes us different. Instead of being ashamed of something that sets us apart, like the girl's long hair, we should hold our heads high and be confident in our own skin. This way, we can turn what others might see as a weakness into a strength.
