Default Very good.

I would say that this story was entirely relevant for Beedle the Bard. As with the Harry Potter books, some tales were more child-orientated (The Wizard and the Hopping Pot) and some were mysterious and traditionally structured (Tale of the Three Brothers)
Perhaps the Warlock attempting to do something that will inevitably go wrong is a link to Voldemort? Cutting out a heart, and splitting a soul ... etc
I thought it was a thrilling story, and really seperates the tales into more age-orientated frames (but also binds them all together with the traditional narrative. Man tries defying nature, gets punished for it).

A deserving 8 1/2 out of 10.
