The Monkey’s Paw
W. W. Jacobs
Setting: Small house in England during the late 1800s
On a stormy night, Sergeant-Major Morris visits Mr.
and Mrs. White and their son Herbert. Morris is back in England
after spending twenty-one years in India. He tells the Whites
about a magical monkey’s paw he got while he was away that
gives its owner three wishes. Mr. White wants the monkey’s
paw, and Morris lets him keep it. Morris warns the Whites that
the wishes never turn out well and tells them to make only
sensible wishes. Before bed that night, Mr. White wishes for a
specific sum of money.
The next day, Herbert goes off to work as usual. A few
hours later, a man arrives from his company to inform the
Whites that Herbert has been killed in an accident. The man
gives the Whites the exact amount of money Mr. White had
wished for the night before. The Whites are devastated at the
loss of their son until Mrs. White remembers the monkey’s paw.
She demands that her husband wish for Herbert
to come back.
