Mr
and
Mrs
White
and
their
son
Herbert
was sitting in their living-room on cold, windy night, when suddenly they have heard a knock on the door. It was Morris, an old friend of Mr White. He told stories about his journeys around the world and show them a monkey's paw what he got from a man in India. The paw was magic and could grant three wishes. Morris throwed the paw on the fire because he was dangerous, but Mr White took it and, after Morris had went , he wished for $400. Nothing happened and Herbert went to work in his factory. When he didn't arrive back at usual time, Mrs White starts to worry. Then a man came to the door and told them the terrible news - Herbert had been died in a big machine in the factory. A week after the death of her son, Mrs White suddenly remembered that they still have two wishes. She looked for monkey's paw and wished her son alive again. A little later they heard a loud banging on a door and Mrs White ran to see her son. Mr White knew that his wife will be killed if she opened the door and made the final wish - for Herbert being dead again. |
