Answer:

The practical lesson of a story; a sentence or passage coming at the end of the story and pointing out the lesson or conclusion to be drawn from the story - is the moral of the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among its meanings, the word moral may refer to a passage in a story, usually in conclusion, that points out the lesson to be learned from the story. The word moral comes from the Latin mores, which means habits. Stories that present a moral at the end are generally trying to teach (especially children) about good and decent behaviors.

Maybe the most well-knows stories to contain a moral at the end are the fables. Fables are stories in which animals and inanimate objects present human emotions and the ability to speak. Their actions lead to a lesson to be learned by readers -- for instance: lying can cause harm to yourself and others; sharing is important; being conceited brings no good to no one etc.
