   One cold, foggy night. John was sitting in his old, torn up rocking chair. Smoking a cigar as he watched the news. All of sudden there was a loud thump that came from his attic. John got up off his chair, slowly grabbed his candle, he lit it and started walking towards the stairs to go upstairs. 

He climbs up to the attic, looks around but doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. As he climbs down from the ladder something shoots across the attic floor almost hitting him in the face.  John jumps at the sight of something flying towards him and he falls down the ladder and hits his head on the object that caused him to fall.  John carefully opened the box that he had hit his head on. He pulled out the paw and seen the instructions that were in the box.

The note read '' You get 3 wishes use them carefully, How to wish, you hold it up in your right hand and wish aloud, but be careful john don't wish for to many things or there will be some serious consequences"

John folded the letter and put it back in the box as quickly as he could and backed away from the paw. " how does it know my name?" John whispered under his breath, he slowly got up and sat back down in his chair facing the box with the paw. " not taking my eye off you " john said focusing on the box.
