The story begins as Mr. and Mrs. White, an average couple with a grown son named Herbert, are visited by an old friend of theirs who had been a sergeant in India. While there, he acquired a magical talisman in the form of a mummified monkey's paw, said to grant three wishes to whoever possesses it.
Having no desire to keep the paw, he (reluctantly) gives it to the Whites, after first warning them that its previous owners killed themselves for their third wish. Too excited by the paw's mystical powers, Mr. White first wishes for £200, and gets it -- as a payout after Herbert is killed in a grisly workplace accident. The story continues in this way, with the Whites' wishes only coming to them at terrible cost, until -- after the most dramatic moment -- they've learned its lesson: [[TemptingFate don't tempt fate]], and BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.
