ERL Ⅱb 2021 ⑤ (0520): The Monkey's Paw

 

 I read “The Monkey’s Paw”. There are mainly four characters in this story, Mr. White, Mrs. White, Herbert, and Tom Morris. Herbert is a White’s son. Tom was a soldier and Mr. White’s friend. He had a Monkey’s paw which can do strange and wonderful things. If someone take the paw in the right hand and wish something, the wish come true, but it brings unhappy things too. Then, Mr. White was interested in the paw and he got the paw from Tom. After wards, he wished that “I wish for £30,000” because his family was poor. After his wish, his son suddenly died at his workplace, a factory. Mr. and Mrs. White cried very much with their son’s death, but they could receive £30,000 from the factory. Then, Tom’s story was true that is “the wish come true, but it brings unhappy things too”.

 I think this story is very scary and I feel that we cannot get some good things so easily. That summary which I told is about middle of the story, so, if you are interested in the end of the story, check it out. Thank you.
