Men came inside our house

Carrying a hammock with someone in it.

The man in the hammock looked so pale.

I just then realized it was my father

But he was so pale and lifeless.

I stood at the corner speechless.

Then the rest was a blur…

I don’t remember what I did.

The next image I saw was a man

Dressed in white shirt and black pants

Lying stiffly on a bed.

He looked dark and bloated

So different from the pale body in the hammock.

What did they do to my father?

Who was that man lying on the bed?

Years later, I saw a picture of the man on the bed.

My mother kept it hidden because it looked so different.

They said it was a picture of my Dad

But I couldn’t believe it was him.

He looked so different from the man in the hammock.

What could have happened to his body in just a few hours?

Was it replaced by this hideous corpse lying solitary and still?

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
