A poster makes a (simple, somewhat open-ended) wish. The person replying obeys that wish that is to-the-letter, but not quite to the spirit of OP's request.
As an example, in the original short story, a father made a wish on the monkey's paw for 500 pounds. What he failed to realize was that these 500 pounds would be given to him as compensation from a company who their son worked for. Apparently, their son had gotten caught in the machinery and killed, shortly after the wish was made
