BR2-3 The Monkey's Paw



I read The Monkey's Paw. It was strange mystery story? I don't know. Mr. White, Mrs. White and their son Herbert were living together. Mr. and Mrs. White were old. Herbert was born, when Mrs. White was nearly 40 years old. This family was poor. So they really wanted money to live.

One night Mr. White's old friend Tom Morris came to the house. They drank and talked about Tom's interesting story. Actually Tom was in India as a soldier. He met many strange things at there. Tom talked about the monkey's paw. The monkey's paw can make three wishes. But also when it is used, something bad occur.

Tom left the house. Mr. White got the monkey's paw. He made a wish for thirty thousand pounds. But nothing occurred at that time. All they thought the monkey's paw was not true. But next day Herbert went to his work. In the afternoon, one well dressed man came to Mr. White's house and said. Your son is dead because of machine. And he gave information. The company will give thirty thousand pound.

Mr. and Mrs. White cried a lot that night and made another wish. They wished Herbert's come back. After that they heard some noise. They went downstairs and opened the door. But nobody was there.(217 words/2508 words)

Hmmmm, that's a sad story! I think I've watch a movie with a similar story about a magic flute or something... but that was a long time ago~
