In W.W. Jacobs' short story "The Monkey's Paw," three wishes are granted to the White family. Each wish, however, comes with unforeseen consequences, leading to tragic outcomes. The first wish is for money, the second for the return of their son, and the third is made to undo the consequences of the previous wishes. Ultimately, the story illustrates the dangers of tampering with fate and the idea that some wishes should not be granted.
