In "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs, Mr. White's first wish is fulfilled when he asks for a sum of two hundred pounds. Shortly after making the wish, he receives the money as compensation for his son Herbert's tragic death in a workplace accident, caused by the very machinery he wished to avoid. This fulfillment highlights the story's theme of unintended consequences and the dark nature of tampering with fate.
