Here are some of the morals from Parables for Life in the 21st Century:

Don't forget the basics. Roger did, and his parakeet died.
Don't be afraid to accept success or to challenge idleness.
Warmth and kindness can gain you more good than meanness and a cold heart.
Words, just like nails, can still leave pain and scars even when they are retracted. Make sure the words you use are
kind words, not mean words that hurt.
Your future is in front of you, not behind you.
Life is NOT fair. Get over it, and get used to it.
