John sits on his rocking chair staring at the box on the floor, smoking his cigar.
" what does it mean ' don't wish for to much?'" John thought to him self as he gets up and puts out the candle going up the stairs to go back to bed with his wife but before he lays down he checks on his new born child, rose.
John slowly falls asleep, as he falls in to a deep sleep he dreams about the monkeys paw.
" john? John?" Johns wife Mary worriedly tries to wake him "john? John please wake up there's a strange box here for you"
Johns eyes slowly open as his heart starts beating a little faster " you didn't open it did you Mary?"
She shakes her head no " I did not even touch it it's still sitting in the middle of the hallway we're it was when I found it"
He jumps out of bed and gets dressed, he makes his way over to the box and takes it to the back yard.
" okay paw show me what you can do " john takes the monkeys paw out of the box and holds it in his right hand and makes a very simple easy wish " I wish for a months worth of food for my family and I!"
The paw twisted like a snake in johns hand. John dropped the paw on the dirt ground and backed up from it.
He went back in to the house and had breakfast with his daughter and wife.
Later that evening there was a loud rumbling knock at the door that made the house shake.
John makes his way to the door and opens it carefully, and standing there before him was a tall man with a wagon full of food. " hi my names mack and well I seem to have to much food and I can't take it all with me. Would you like it?" John takes a step back and invites the tall intimating man into his home.
" yes I would be so grateful to take this food off your hands. Thank you so much" John said thankfully.
