Identify the allusion in The Monkey's Paw paragraph 45-49 that Mrs White makes, what does the allusions suggest about Mrs White's view of the paw?

From the text:

“Sounds like the ‘Arabian Nights’”, said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the dinner. “Don’t you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me.”

The monkey's paw like Alladin's lamp grants its owner wishes, but it rarely gives you what you're actually wishing for.
