Well, no, they don't deserve such a fate. But that's a part of the cautionary tale. Your punishment is to be harsher than your crime. Why? Because that'll scare you not to do it, that's why!

At least, that's always been my reading of it.

I think it's partly the "scared straight" aspect, but partly that in real life your punishment is frequently harsher than your crime, especially for kids. There's a reason why so many old children's stories are variations on "don't trust the stranger with candy and a tempting shortcut."

Good point! I have indeed experienced many times having received harsh punishment for small missteps, or a tried taking a shortcut only to be met with new trials and tribulations that could have been avoided had I actually listened to warnings not to take shortcuts or slack off on my responsibilities.
