The Mokey's Paw BCR

The most important idea found in "The Monley's Paw", by W.W. Jacobs, is being careful what you wish for. Mr. White was being greedy by asking for 200 pounds, but in coincidence of being greedy he got his 200 pounds by his son dying at work and the company payed him 200 pounds for the un-expected death at the factory. The mother asked for Mr. White to wish for their son to come back to life and not being specific the son was wished back to life but he came back to life as a ripped up dead boy. In this story , by W.W. Jacobs, the main idea is to be careful what you wish for because your wis might come true but not that way you expected it to be.
