Richard airsmith had stopped in the local town market in search for some seeds to his garden,Or meats of any kind. He was not expecting this.
Richard had strange and sad things always happening in his life. The first thing he remember something bad happening was when he was riding his bike, (he fell off and broke his collarbone.) luckily it was treated very well and he had to stay in a very pore hospital for a month. The day he had his cast removed would have been a very good day, if he hadent stepped outside, tripped and broke his hand. All I am saying here is that he has had a painful and strange life.
He was happy to ave a wonderfull wife and a caring son that fought in the army. He was happy .
This one particular day though, he had driven to the town market for some meets or seeds for his garden. He had happend to stop at this one shack entitled "valuables" he stopped to take a look. The first thing he saw was a very old looking monkey hand holding up 3 fingers. "Excuse me." Richard said to the man behind the counter. "How much for the hand." "Thats not for sale." the man replied. "How much you want for it? 50? 100?" "This is far to dangerous to be sold. plus, I would only take 2,000." Richard thought about it. He looked inside his pocket. Just the right amount. "Alright, deal."
The man explained that the hand gave you 3 wishes. But the wishes might not be exactly what you wished for.
Richard got home and showed his wife what he had gotten. He explained that it gave you 3 wishes.
"lets start small." She said "Like 500 dollars"
One finger was put down.
Nothing happend.
They waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
About 2 hours later they heard a knock on the door. They opened it to find a general with a sad look on his face. He said. "Mr and miss Airsmith. I am afraid to tell you there as been a accident. Involving your son. He was shot to death and it was to late to revive him back to health. Im sorry but, your son is dead. As a token of our gratitude and peace to your son. We are giving you 500 dollars for your trouble. Once again. I am very sorry."
And then he left.
It took them 1 hour before they realized that there wish came true.
They were about to throw the hand away when the wife said "Wait. We still have 2 more wishes! We can wish our son back to life!"
A finger went down.
They went to bed feeling awful.
In the middle of the night they heard *Thump* *Drag* *Thump* *Drag* There were 3 knocks on the door. They heard moaning on the other side.
They quickly realized what was happening. They both said at the same time. "I wish our son was still dead!"
He was gone.
That was the last they ever saw of the monkey hand.
