Quirky short story with a bit of irony, horror and old fashioned misogyny and classism. Kind of like a fable adults tell to teach a lesson

A short and intriguing tale of greed that is probably a less effective read these days as its structure has been copied so often over time. I was surprised to see that this was the story on which the Tchaikovsky opera of the same name was based. Short and sweet with a little bit of the paranormal!
