 W. W. Jacobs wrote a very good story about the monkey's paw. He did not write the entire story, only a small part. He left it to you to imagine, to guess, to feel uncertain about what happened. I wonder what really happened. Who had the monkey's paw? Who took possession of it first? How did that man meet the fakir? A fakir is a religious person similar to a monk. How did the fakir curse that paw? And what happened to that man? And what about the sergeant major? He was the second owner of the paw. I wonder how he took possession of the paw. I'm curious to know what three wishes he made. I wonder, what was his curse? And what about Mr. White's third wish? The last, what was it? And what would have happened if his wife, Mrs. White, had opened the door just before he made his third wish? Now it's your turn to write a story. In your story, you're going to answer some of those questions. Can you make your story as frightening as or even more terrifying than the monkey's paw? I know your teacher can't wait to see your story.
