In "The Storyteller", by Saki, the theme that is best supported by the story the bachelor tells is Pride comes before a fall.

There are three children with their aunt on a train. They are boisterous. She tries to entertain them with a story about a good girl to whom good things happen. As the children are bored by it the bachelor, who travels in the same train tells them a story about a girl who is "horribly good". She has a lot of medals pinned in her dress and a wolf finds her because her medals make noise. Excessive pride comes before something bad makes you realize that you are not so good.

that you cannot mess with fate and love cannot be controlled
