In "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs, the first man's third wish was for his son Herbert to return to life after he died in a tragic accident.

It suggests that the fulfillment of their desires could lead to unforeseen horrors, as the return of Herbert is implied to be anything but the joyous reunion they might expect.
