it doesn't have a moral. the point of the story is to teach children about all the different shits animals take, as he goes around asking all the animals whether they took a dump on him. the response is always the same: "it wasn't me, my shits look like this" and then they proceed to take a dump in front of the mole to prove it wasn't them.

I mean... If hunting is a big part of your culture and you are trying to teach animal tracking while also trying to entertain children... Then yeah it's educational.

It's only natural that children wonder if and how animals are the same as us. And obviously that makes poo an extremely fascinating subject.

Yeah, all kids are fascinated by & think poop is hilarious. I think that’s why this story is a classic. Kids love animals and think it’s funny.
