Discuss the following in groups of three or four

What do you think is the message that the author seems to convey through the story?

The author is trying to portray the importance of evolving with time. The values and perceptions must grow as time passes and one should try and stay practical. One should not be blinded by age-old ideologies and values. Staying in the present is far more important than hanging on to the past.
