Mr. White wanted 200 pounds and he jokingly made the wish. The next day, when their son Herbert goes off to work, later that evening they obtain a message and are told their son has died in a work accident but is also notified that Herbert has insurance through his work. The amount of the insurance was 200 pounds and this is one way that the paw is a curse rather than a blessing.
