[00:04.53]Chapter 3
[00:07.63]It was nearly midnight.
[00:10.30]In their warm living-room,
[00:12.26]the two old people and their son sat
[00:14.39]and talked about the soldier's stories.
[00:17.96]'India is a wonderful country,' Mr White said.
[00:22.65]'What exciting stories!
[00:25.05]It was a good evening.'
[00:28.08]Mrs White stood up to take some things into the kitchen,
[00:31.91]but she stopped and listened to Herbert and his father.
[00:35.76]'Yes,'Herbert said.
[00:38.51]' Morris told some interesting stories,
[00:41.71]but, of course, some of them weren't true. '
[00:45.27]'Oh Herbert!'Mrs White said.
[00:49.29]'Well, Mother, that story about the monkey's paw wasn't true.
[00:54.42]A dirty little monkey's paw isn't magic!
[00:58.02]But it was a good story.' And Herbert smiled.
[01:02.79]'Well,I think you're right, Herbert,' his mother said.
[01:09.14]'I don't know,' Mr White said quietly.
[01:14.06]'Perhaps the story was true.
[01:17.50]Strange things can happen sometimes.'
[01:21.67]Mrs White looked at her husband.
[01:24.96]'Did you give some money to Tom Morris for that paw?'
[01:29.47]she asked.'We don't have money to give away for nothing!'
[01:34.87]Mrs White was angry now.
[01:37.83]'Well,yes,'her husband answered.
[01:41.80]'I did, but not much,
[01:45.28]and at first he didn't want to take it.
[01:47.89]He wanted the monkey's paw.'
[01:51.03]'Well,he can't have it,'Herbert laughed.
[01:54.80]'It's our paw now and we're going to be rich and happy.
[02:00.59]Come on, Father.Make a wish!'
[02:05.10]Old Mr White took the paw from his pocket.
[02:09.27]'OK,Herbert, but what am I going to ask for?
[02:14.79]I have everything-you,
[02:17.24]your mother. What do I need?'
[02:21.00]'Money,of course,'Herbert answered quickly.
[02:25.21]'We need money!
[02:27.33]You're always thinking about money.
[02:30.19]That's because we haven't got very much of it.
[02:33.55]With money you can pay for this house .
[02:37.41]It can be your house!
[02:39.95]Go on, Father, wish for thirty thousand pounds!'
[02:45.80]Herbert stopped talking and his old father thought for a minute.
[02:51.28]The room was quiet and they could hear the rain on the windows.
[02:56.79]Then Mr White took the monkey's paw in his right hand.
[03:01.45]He was afraid, but he looked at his wife and she smiled at him.
[03:06.92]'Go on,' she said.
[03:10.47]Slowly and carefully Mr White said,
[03:14.42]'I wish for thirty thousand pounds.'
[03:21.04]Suddenly he gave a cry and Mrs White and Herbert ran to him.
[03:27.50]'What's the matter, Father?' Herbert asked.
[03:31.04]'It moved!' Mr White cried.
[03:34.66]'The monkey's paw-it moved!'
[03:39.44]They looked at the paw.
[03:41.68]It was now on the floor and not in the old man's hand.
[03:46.46]The family watched it,
[03:48.25]and they waited-but it did not move again.
[03:53.14]So the little family sat down again and they waited.
[03:57.15]Nothing happened
[03:59.36]The noise of the rain on the windows was worse now
[04:03.14]and their little living-room did not feel nice and warm.
[04:07.86]Mrs White said,'It's cold Let's go to bed.'
[04:13.94]Mr White did not answer and in the end Herbert said,
[04:18.68]'Well,there's no money,Father.
[04:22.33]Your friend's story wasn't true.'
[04:25.83]But Mr White did not answer.
[04:28.95]He sat quietly and said nothing.
[04:32.39]After some time Mrs White said to her husband,
[04:36.82]'Are you OK ?'
[04:39.01]'Yes,yes,' the old man answered,
[04:44.85]'but for a minute or two I was afraid.'
[04:48.22]'Well, we needed that money,'
[04:51.62]Mrs White said,'but we aren't going to get it.
[04:55.99]I'm tired. I'm going to bed.'
[05:00.80]After Mrs White went to bed,
[05:03.34]the two men sat and smoked for some time.
[05:07.51]Then Herbert said,'Well,Father,
[05:11.42]I'm going to bed too.
[05:13.69]Perhaps the money is in a bag under your bed!
[05:17.34]Good night, Father.'And Herbert laughed and went out of the room.
[05:24.27]Old Mr White sat in the cold living-room for a long time.
[05:29.24]The candle died and it was dark
[05:35.14] Suddenly,the old man saw a face at the window.
[05:39.85]Quickly, he looked again,
[05:42.81]but there was nothing there.
[05:45.26]He felt afraid.
[05:47.25]Slowly he stood up and left the cold, dark room.
