"The ___ of the story is . . ." (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moral

(Other definitions for moral that I've seen before include "Behaving ethically" , "Relating to good and evil" , "ethical standard" , "Lesson that can be drawn from a story" , "Practical lesson to be drawn from an experience" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
