What's that one short story about that family who obtains some kind of magical object that grants wishes but they are warned that they might not get their wishes exactly how they want to get them? i.e. the dad wishes for like 30 pieces of silver or something like that and their son ends up dying in some kind of company accident at work (maybe a mining accident?) and the owners of the company stop by and pay them 30 pieces of silver for the life insurance. I know that I probably have a lot of the details wrong but I do know that the concepts are right.
