he author seems to be poking fun at the kind of dull, moralistic tales that were often told to children. In this story (as in real life) the children prefer the story of a goody-goody who is destroyed by her own goodness.On another level, the author may be questioning the religious notion that good things happen to good people. Saki was hardly the first person to realize that righteous people often suffer the same (or worse) fate as evil ones. The author of the Biblical book of Ecclesiates, for example, comments (7:15):In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these:the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.
