"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.
"If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible."

"If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it."
"Did you give him anything for it, father?" inquired Mrs. White, regarding her husband closely.
"A trifle," said he, colouring slightly. "He didn't want it, but I made him take it. And he pressed me again to throw it away."
"Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked."
He darted round the table, pursued by the maligned Mrs. White armed with an antimacassar.
Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."

Explanation:
Plato never dealt with aesthetics as such, since art theory never figured among its investigations; but in La República and La Leyes he did refer many times to the problems of art and beauty. Aesthetic questions are intertwined in their thinking with metaphysical and ethical, which influence the former. In their texts, for the first time, beauty and art were included in a great philosophical, idealistic, spiritualist and moralistic system.
For Plato the proof of the existence of beauty is an innate sense of the beautiful, and not an ephemeral feeling of pleasure. To understand us: not everything we like is beautiful really, sometimes it just appears. There is a true beauty opposed to an illusory beauty.
The capture of the beautiful is for Plato a particularity of man that manifests our kinship with the gods.
Assuming (although enlarging) the Pythagorean conception of beauty as order, proportion and harmony, he censured the Athenian art of his time, considering that he had lost the measure and distinguished between good art (the one based precisely on the measure) and bad art. (the one supported by the sensory and emotional reactions of men), because he did not consider the beautiful forms superior to the content.
