The Monkey's Paw
The White family received a magical monkey’s paw that could grant three wishes. Skeptical, Mr. White wished for 200 pounds—and soon their son, Herbert, died in a workplace accident, leaving them the exact sum. Overcome with grief, Mrs. White urged her husband to wish Herbert back. That night, he returned—but as an unnatural, terrifying thing. Horrified, Mr. White used the final wish, and when the door opened, no one was there.
Lesson: Be careful what you wish for.
