It's many years since I read this story, but I seem to remember that the theme was 'Be careful what you wish for'. The lesson it teaches is a good one, and it gets the theme through to you. It's a rather scary story.

Had the old man wished for more than £200, then we may think that he moral may be not to be greedy, but since he requests only the bare minimum, we know that this is not the case.
