What was the action and conclusion did Hebert white do in the story The Monkey Paw?

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Herbert White, in "The Monkey's Paw," made the brilliant decision to wish for two hundred pounds to pay off the family's mortgage. Unfortunately, the conclusion of his wish was a tragic one, as he ended up dying in a work accident and his family received the two hundred pounds as compensation. Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for, folks.
