The message that the guide has given does not correspond to the story they just watched. Does Creole try to be somebody she's not and accept herself for who she is? No, she is perfectly happy with herself. Her problem is that the other animals are racist.

She resolves her problem using deception to befriend them vicariously by speaking through the alligator.

Stanley's problem, too, is external, not internal. Is feeling good about himself magically going to make him grow taller? If Stanley was actually supposed to learn from the story, what he might think he was supposed to do was to manipulate events from the background.

Thus, the version of events according to the guide is at odds with reality in the same way with regard to both Stanley and Creole.
