The 'if wishes were horses' short story might revolve around the theme of unfulfilled desires. It could show how characters' wishes, if they were as easy to obtain as horses (a metaphor perhaps for something common or easily accessible), are still not realized. Maybe it explores the gap between what people hope for and the reality they face.
Perhaps the moral lesson is that hard work and determination are necessary. The short story could be showing that while wishes can be beautiful and inspiring, they are not a substitute for effort. If we want to achieve something, we have to put in the work, rather than just hoping that our wishes will magically come true like having a horse appear just because we wish for it.
In a lot of '3 wishes short stories', the main character is someone in a difficult situation. For instance, a man who is in debt might be the main character. He gets the three wishes and has to decide how to use them to get out of his problems. Another common main character could be a lonely woman who wishes for love, wealth, and then something more profound like self - discovery as her three wishes. The main character is usually someone who has a need or a longing that the wishes are supposed to fulfill.
The short story 'Those Three Wishes' often revolves around the concept of getting three wishes, which is a common theme in many folktales. Usually, it shows how characters use or misuse their wishes. For example, they might make hasty decisions without thinking of the consequences. This can lead to both positive and negative outcomes, teaching readers about the importance of careful consideration.
One main theme is self - discovery. As the girl's wishes come true, she discovers more about herself. Another is the idea of 'be careful what you wish for'. Her 16 wishes bring both good and bad things, so it shows the consequences of hasty wishing.
