* "Too much of a good thing": The story emphasizes how even something initially desired, like the trunk, can become a burden and cause trouble when taken to an extreme.
* "The grass is always greener on the other side": The boy constantly seeks new lands and experiences, thinking they will bring him happiness, but ultimately realizes that happiness comes from within.
* "Curiosity killed the cat": The boy's relentless curiosity leads him into various dangerous situations.
