“What were his first two wishes,then?” Herbert asked.“What did he ask for?”
“I don’t know.He didn’t want to tell me,” the soldier answered.
For a minute or two everybody was quiet,but then Herbert said,“And you,Mr.Morris:did you have three wishes?”
“Yes,I did,” Morris answered.“I was young.I wanted many things --- a fast car,money …” Morris stopped for a minute and then he said with difficulty,“My wife and my young son died in an accident in the car.Without them I didn’t want the money,so,in the end,I wish to lose it.But it was too late.My wife and my child were dead.”
The room was very quiet.The White family looked at the unhappy face of the old soldier.
Then Mr.White said,“Why do you want the paw now?You don’t need it.You can give it to someone.”
“How can I give it to someone?” the soldier said.“The monkey’s paw brings unhappiness with it.”
“Well,give it to me,” Mr.White said,“Perhaps this time it …”
“No!” Tom Morris cried.“You’re my friend.I can’t give it to you.” Then,after a minute,he said,“I can’t give it to you,but,of course you can take it from me.But remember --- this monkey’s
paw brings unhappiness!”
Old Mr.White did not listen and he did not think.Quickly,he put out his hand,and he took the paw.
Tom Morris looked unhappy,but Mr.White did not want to wait.
“What do we I do now?” he asked his friend.
“Yes,come on,Father,” Herbert said,“Make a wish!” And he laughed.
The soldier said nothing and Mr.White asked him again,“What do I do now?”
At first the old soldier did not answer,but in the end he said quietly,“OK.But remember!Be careful!Think before you make your wish.”
“Yes,yes,” Mr.White said.
“Take the paw in your right hand and then make your wish,but …” Tom Morris began.
“Yes,we know,” Herbert said.“Be careful!”
Just then old Mrs.White stood up and she began to get the dinner.Her husband looked at her.Then he smiled and said to her,“Come on.Help me!What can I wish for?We need money,of course.”
Mrs.White laughed,but she thought for a minute and then she said,“Well,I’m getting old now and sometimes it’s difficult to do everything.Perhaps I need four hands and not two.Yes,ask the paw to give me two more hands.”
“OK,then,” her husband said,and he took the monkey’s paw in his right hand.Everybody watched him and for a moment he waited.Then he opened his mouth to make his wish.
Suddenly Tom Morris stood up.“Don’t do it!” he cried.
The old soldier’s face was white.Herbert and his mother laughed,but Mr.White looked at Tom’s face.
Old Mr.White was afraid and he put the monkey’s paw in his pocket.
“那么,他的头两个愿望是什么?”赫伯特追问,“他要求什么?”
“我不知道,他不想告诉我.”老兵回答说.
一两分钟里大家都沉默着,然而赫伯特又问,“莫里斯先生,你有三个愿望吗?”
“是的,我有过,”莫里斯问答说,“我年轻时,我想要很多东西——一辆跑车,还有钱……”莫里斯顿了一会儿,然后很艰难地说,“我的妻子和我年轻的儿子在一次事故中丧生,没有了他们我不再想要钱,以至到最后,我希望一无所有,但为时已晚,我的妻子和孩子并不能死而复生.”
房子里很静,怀特一家看着老兵苦楚的脸.
接着,怀特先生问,“为什么你现在还要这个爪子呢?你不需要它,你可以把它送给别人.”
“我怎么能送给别人呢?”老兵说,“猴爪会给拥有它的人带来痛苦.”
“那么,给我吧,”怀特先生说,“也许这次它……”
“不!”汤姆•莫里斯叫道,“你是我的朋友,我不能把它给你.”过了一会儿,他说,“我不能把它给你,但你可以从我身边把它拿走,不过要记住——猴爪会给你带来痛苦!”
老怀特没有听进去也没有仔细想,很快地伸出手拿走了猴爪.
汤姆•莫里斯看起来不高兴,但怀特先生等不及了.
“我现在能做什么?”他问他的朋友.
“对,这样吧,父亲,”赫伯特说,“许个愿吧!”赫伯特笑了.
老兵什么也不说,怀特先生又问他,“我现在能做些什么呢?”
开始,老兵什么也不回答,最后他静静地说,“好吧,但记住要小心,在你许愿之前要考虑好.”
“行,行.”怀特先生说.
“把猴爪拿在你右手,然后许愿,但是……”汤姆•莫里斯又开始了他那一套.
“行了,我们知道.”赫伯特说,“要小心!”
这时怀特太太站起来去做晚饭.她的丈夫看着她,并笑着对她说,“过来帮帮我,我能许一个什么愿呢?当然,我们需要钱.”
怀特太太笑了起来,她想了一会儿说,“是的,我开始变老啦,有时做事情很吃力.可能我需要四只手而不是两只手,那么好吧,让猴爪多给我两只手.”
“好吧,”她的丈夫说,他把猴爪放在右手.每个人都看着他,他等了一会儿然后张开嘴开始许愿.
突然,汤姆•莫里斯站起来.“不要这样!”他喊道.
老兵的脸变白了.赫伯特和他的母亲笑了起来,但怀特先生却看着汤姆的脸.
老怀特先生害怕了,他把猴爪放进了口袋.
