B. Ignoring the wisdom and experience of others can lead to terrible consequences.

Explanation:

This is one of the themes that is expressed in the story "The Monkey's Paw." In this story, we learn that the family is warned about the dangers of using the magic paw. However, their desire and ambition motivates them to use it anyway. This leads to catastrophic consequences for all the members, showing that it is not a good idea to ignore the wisdom and experience of others.
