Answer 1

Answer: The Whites make a wish for money, receive the money after their son is involved in a fatal accident, wish for his return, and finally wish for his disappearance. The story contains situational irony because the Whites wish for money, but it comes at the loss of their only son.

The story has been adapted many times in other media, including plays, films, TV series, operas, stories, and comics, as early as 1903.
