W. W. Jacobs

The Monkey's Paw/Multi-Media Kit

Ring-bound (Balance Pub Co June 1, 1989)
Sergeant Morris, the White's dinner guest, gives Mr. White a mummified monkey's paw which, according to Morris, carries a magic spell that can bring three different men three separate wishes. Two men have already had their three wishes. Morris makes it clear that the wishes are always granted with disastrous results. Morris leaves, and Herbert, the White's son, makes fun of the idea that the paw can make wishes come true. Mr. White wishes for $25,000. Herbert leaves to work the night shift at a nearby dam, and Mr. and Mrs. White go to bed. The next morning, a man from the dam arrives to give the White's the tragic news that Herbert has been killed in an accident at work and that they are named as beneficiary on the insurance policy worth $25,000. The rest of the story relates how the Whites use the other two wishes.
