The Monkey's Paw

I read "The Monkey's Paw". The story was so dark. I don't like this story. Characters are the old man (Mr. White), old women (Mrs. White) and thier son (Herbert). They lived small house togather. They did not have a much money but they were happy in their life. The story started from this dark night. It was rainy night , Mr.White's friend (Tom Morris)came to their house to talk about India. Tom went to india and he had good experience in India. And he got the monkey's paw from an old Indian. The monkey's paw is magic , it can give three wishes to three people. Tom talked this monkey's paw story to the family. And he told them that these wishes don't bring happiness. He told Importantly, that things and he gave the monkey's paw to the family. Mr. White didn't want wish for the paw but Mrs.White and Herberd wanted to wish that have a lot of money. Mr.White believed his talk. Fainaly, Mr.White wished for thirty thousand pounds. But it was not happen on the night. Next morning their son went to his work. And they didn't believe their wish. In the evening, a men came to their house and he told them that Herberd died of the machinery accident. And Mr.White and Mrs. White thought purhaps, this his death for money and he asked afraid "How much?". The men answer "Thirty thousand pounds".

They got a lot of money but they never got happy.
