In the first Chapter, the son and father play chess in the evening, and the
mother knits. They are waiting for a guest, although they doubt that he will come,
because the weather is very bad. But the guest still comes, it turned out to be a
Sergeant major. Then the whole family sat down at the table and began to ask
about his travels in India. The Sergeant major showed them the monkey's paw
and said that it was enchanted and could fulfill 3 wishes, but it was better not to
use it. But his father asked him to give the monkey's paw to him. And he agreed.
The next day, the family thought about what kind of wish they would make. My
father said they had everything, but it would be nice to get 200 pounds for a new
renovation. The paw in his hand moved as he spoke. After that, the son went to
work. Soon a man knocked on the door, the mother opened the door and
received the news that her son had tragically died due to an accident at work and
their family was given 200 pounds as compensation. Mother and father grieved
for their son for a very long time and suddenly, the mother decided to make a
wish for their son to be resurrected. Her father tried to dissuade her, but she
insisted. He made a wish and they went to bed. At night, they heard a knock on
the door, the mother was happy that their son had returned and ran to open the
door. Her father got scared and tried to talk her out of it, but she didn't listen to
him. He stayed in the room and made a third wish, then went down to the door
and saw a lone lantern on the street.
