[00:04.50] Chapter 2
[00:08.06] After some time Tom Morris stopped talking
[00:12.18] and Mr White said to his wife and son,
[00:15.98] 'Tom was a soldier in India for twenty-one years．
[00:21.01] India is a wonderful country．'
[00:24.80] 'Yes,'Herbert said．'I'd like to go there．'
[00:30.12] 'Oh, Herbert!' his mother cried．
[00:34.16] She was afraid because she did not want to lose her son．
[00:39.13] 'I wanted to go to India too,
[00:42.23] 'her husband said, 'but…'
[00:45.52] 'It's better for you here!'
[00:48.02] the soldier said quickly．
[00:51.02] 'But you saw a lot of strange and wonderful things in India ．
[00:55.94] I want to see them too one day,' Mr White said．
[01:01.29] The soldier put down his whisky．
[01:03.88] 'No!' he cried．'Stay here !'
[01:09.07] Old Mr White did not stop．
[01:12.34] 'But your stories were interesting,'
[01:15.55] he said to Tom Morris．
[01:18.30] 'What did you begin to say about a monkey's paw?'
[01:23.22] 'Nothing!' Morris answered quickly．
[01:26.99] 'Well…nothing important．'
[01:31.13] 'A monkey's paw?' Mrs White said．
[01:35.15] 'Come on, Mr Morris!
[01:37.60] Tell us about it,' Herbert said．
[01:41.86] Morris took his whisky in his hand,
[01:44.94] but suddenly he put it down again．
[01:48.49] Slowly he put his hand into the pocket of his coat
[01:52.37] and the White family watched him．
[01:55.75] 'What is it? What is it?' Mrs White cried．
[02:01.14] Morris said nothing．
[02:04.11] He took his hand out of his pocket．
[02:07.39] The White family watched carefully-
[02:10.66] and in the soldier's hand they saw something little and dirty．
[02:16.90] Mrs White moved back, afraid,
[02:20.09] but her son,Herbert,took it and looked at it carefully．
[02:25.82] 'Well,what is it?'Mr White asked his friend．
[02:32.22] 'Look at it,' the soldier answered．
[02:35.83] 'It's a little paw…a monkey's paw．'
[02:40.77] 'A monkey's paw!
[02:43.35] 'Herbert said-and he laughed．
[02:46.52] 'Why do you carry a monkey's paw in your pocket,Mr Morris?'
[02:51.01] he asked the old soldier．
[02:53.76] 'Well,you see,' Morris said,
[02:57.04] 'this monkey's paw is magic!'
[03:01.19] Herbert laughed again,
[03:03.59] but the soldier said,'Don't laugh,boy．
[03:07.83] Remember, you're young．
[03:11.84] I'm old now and in India I saw many strange things．'
[03:19.49] He stopped talking for a minute and then he said,
[03:24.32] 'This monkey's paw can do strange and wonderful things．
[03:30.54] An old Indian gave the paw to one of my friends．
[03:35.14] My friend was a soldier too．
[03:38.58] This paw is magic because it can give three wishes to three people．'
[03:46.19] 'Wonderful!'Herbert said．
[03:49.85] 'But these three wishes don't bring happiness,
[03:53.99] 'the soldier said．'The old Indian wanted to teach us something-
[04:00.02] it's never good to want to change things．'
[04:04.47] 'Well, did your friend have three wishes?'
[04:08.96] Herbert asked the old soldier．
[04:12.14] 'Yes,'Morris answered quietly．
[04:16.56] 'And his third and last wish was to die!'
[04:23.13] Mr and Mrs White listened to the story and they felt afraid,
[04:29.06] but Herbert asked,'And did he die?'
[04:33.68] 'Yes, he did,' Morris said．' He had no family,
[04:40.44] so his things came to me when he died．
[04:44.21] The monkey's paw was with his things,
[04:47.69] but he told me about it before he died,'
[04:51.60] Tom Morris finished quietly．
[04:54.95] 'What were his first two wishes, then?'
[04:58.41] Herbert asked． 'What did he ask for?'
[05:03.22] 'I don't know． He didn't want to tell me,'
[05:07.74] the soldier answered．
[05:11.09] For a minute or two everybody was quiet,
[05:14.79] but then Herbert said,' And you,
[05:18.37] Mr Morris ：did you have three wishes?'
[05:22.83] 'Yes, I did,' Morris answered．'I was young．
[05:29.47] I wanted many things-a fast car,
[05:33.84] money… 'Morris stopped for a minute
[05:39.72] and then he said with difficulty,
[05:42.79] 'My wife and my young son died in an accident in the car．
[05:49.59] Without them I didn't want the money,
[05:53.72] so, in the end, I wished to lose it．
[05:57.72] But it was too late．
[05:59.86] My wife and my child were dead．'
[06:04.52] The room was very quiet．
[06:07.41] The White family looked at the unhappy face of the old soldier．
[06:12.83] Then Mr White said,'Why do you want the paw now?
[06:19.05] You don't need it．
[06:21.44] You can give it to someone．'
[06:24.37] 'How can I give it to someone?'
[06:27.15] the soldier said．'The monkey's paw brings unhappiness with it．'
[06:33.28] 'Well, give it to me,' Mr White said．
[06:37.14] 'Perhaps this time it…'
[06:39.13] 'No!' Tom Morris cried．
[06:42.59] 'You're my friend． I can't give it to you．'
[06:48.42] then,after a minute,he said,
[06:51.47] 'I can't give it to you,
[06:54.45] but,of course you can take it from me．
[06:59.09] But remember-this monkey's paw brings unhappiness!'
[07:05.78] Old Mr White did not listen and he did not think．Quickly,
[07:11.64] he put out his hand,
[07:13.01] and he took the paw．
[07:15.86] Tom Morris looked unhappy,
[07:18.20] but Mr White did not want to wait．
[07:22.52] 'What do I do now?' he asked his friend．
[07:26.99] 'Yes, come on, Father,
[07:29.95] Herbert said．'Make a wish!' And he laughed．
[07:35.78] The soldier said nothing and Mr White asked him again,
[07:40.64] 'What do I do now?'
[07:44.40] At first the old soldier did not answer,
[07:48.20] but in the end he said quietly,'OK．
[07:53.24] But remember! Be careful!
[07:57.10] Think before you make your wish,'
[08:00.80] 'Yes, yes,' Mr White said．
[08:05.47] 'Take the paw in your right hand and then make your wish,
[08:11.15] but…'tom Morris began．
[08:14.49] 'Yes, we know,'
[08:16.77] Herbert said．'Be careful!'
[08:21.08] Just then old Mrs White stood up
[08:24.72] and she began to get the dinner．
[08:27.33] Her husband looked at her．
[08:29.88] Then he smiled and said to her,
[08:32.92] 'Come on．Help me !What can I wish for?
[08:38.13] We need money,of course．'
[08:41.64] Mrs White laughed,
[08:43.98] but she thought for a minute and then she said,
[08:47.63] 'Well, I'm getting old now and sometimes it's difficult to do everything．
[08:55.95] Perhaps I need four hands and not two．
[09:00.25] Yes, ask the paw to give me two more hands．'
[09:05.98] 'OK, then,' her husband said,
[09:09.72] and he took the monkey's paw in his right hand．
[09:13.71] Everybody watched him and for a minute he waited．
[09:18.94] Then he opened his mouth to make his wish．
[09:22.84] Suddenly Tom Morris stood up．
[09:25.93] 'Don't do it!'he cried．
[09:29.52] The old soldier's face was white．
[09:32.81] Herbert and his mother laughed,
[09:35.24] but Mr White looked at Tom's face．
[09:39.31] Old Mr White was afraid
[09:41.75] and he put the monkey's paw into his pocket．
[09:45.61] After a minute or two they sat down at the table
[09:48.76] and began to have dinner．
[09:51.59] The soldier told the family many strange
[09:54.04] and wonderful stories about India．
[09:57.11] They forgot the monkey's paw,
[09:59.74] and because the soldier's stories were interesting,
[10:03.08] they asked him many questions about India．
[10:06.75] When Tom Morris stood up to leave,
[10:09.81] it was very late．
[10:12.58] 'Thank you for a very nice evening,'
[10:15.62] Morris said to the family．'
[10:17.74] And thank you for a very good dinner,
[10:21.15] 'he said to Mrs White．
[10:24.09] 'It was a wonderful evening for us, Tom,'
[10:28.08] Old Mr White answered．'Your stories were very interesting．
[10:35.68] Our life isn't very exciting and we don't have the money to visit India,
[10:41.72] so please come again soon．
[10:44.85] You can tell us some more stories about India．'
[10:49.54] Then the old soldier put on his coat．
[10:53.07] He said goodbye to the White family,
[10:55.66] and went out into the rain．

[00:04.50] Chapter 2
[00:08.06] After some time Tom Morris stopped talking
[00:12.18] and Mr White said to his wife and son,
[00:15.98] ' Tom was a soldier in India for twentyone years
[00:21.01] India is a wonderful country'
[00:24.80] ' Yes,' Herbert said' I' d like to go there'
[00:30.12] ' Oh, Herbert!' his mother cried
[00:34.16] She was afraid because she did not want to lose her son
[00:39.13] ' I wanted to go to India too,
[00:42.23] ' her husband said, ' but'
[00:45.52] ' It' s better for you here!'
[00:48.02] the soldier said quickly
[00:51.02] ' But you saw a lot of strange and wonderful things in India
[00:55.94] I want to see them too one day,' Mr White said
[01:01.29] The soldier put down his whisky
[01:03.88] ' No!' he cried' Stay here !'
[01:09.07] Old Mr White did not stop
[01:12.34] ' But your stories were interesting,'
[01:15.55] he said to Tom Morris
[01:18.30] ' What did you begin to say about a monkey' s paw?'
[01:23.22] ' Nothing!' Morris answered quickly
[01:26.99] ' Well nothing important'
[01:31.13] ' A monkey' s paw?' Mrs White said
[01:35.15] ' Come on, Mr Morris!
[01:37.60] Tell us about it,' Herbert said
[01:41.86] Morris took his whisky in his hand,
[01:44.94] but suddenly he put it down again
[01:48.49] Slowly he put his hand into the pocket of his coat
[01:52.37] and the White family watched him
[01:55.75] ' What is it? What is it?' Mrs White cried
[02:01.14] Morris said nothing
[02:04.11] He took his hand out of his pocket
[02:07.39] The White family watched carefully
[02:10.66] and in the soldier' s hand they saw something little and dirty
[02:16.90] Mrs White moved back, afraid,
[02:20.09] but her son, Herbert, took it and looked at it carefully
[02:25.82] ' Well, what is it?' Mr White asked his friend
[02:32.22] ' Look at it,' the soldier answered
[02:35.83] ' It' s a little paw a monkey' s paw'
[02:40.77] ' A monkey' s paw!
[02:43.35] ' Herbert saidand he laughed
[02:46.52] ' Why do you carry a monkey' s paw in your pocket, Mr Morris?'
[02:51.01] he asked the old soldier
[02:53.76] ' Well, you see,' Morris said,
[02:57.04] ' this monkey' s paw is magic!'
[03:01.19] Herbert laughed again,
[03:03.59] but the soldier said,' Don' t laugh, boy
[03:07.83] Remember, you' re young
[03:11.84] I' m old now and in India I saw many strange things'
[03:19.49] He stopped talking for a minute and then he said,
[03:24.32] ' This monkey' s paw can do strange and wonderful things
[03:30.54] An old Indian gave the paw to one of my friends
[03:35.14] My friend was a soldier too
[03:38.58] This paw is magic because it can give three wishes to three people'
[03:46.19] ' Wonderful!' Herbert said
[03:49.85] ' But these three wishes don' t bring happiness,
[03:53.99] ' the soldier said' The old Indian wanted to teach us something
[04:00.02] it' s never good to want to change things'
[04:04.47] ' Well, did your friend have three wishes?'
[04:08.96] Herbert asked the old soldier
[04:12.14] ' Yes,' Morris answered quietly
[04:16.56] ' And his third and last wish was to die!'
[04:23.13] Mr and Mrs White listened to the story and they felt afraid,
[04:29.06] but Herbert asked,' And did he die?'
[04:33.68] ' Yes, he did,' Morris said' He had no family,
[04:40.44] so his things came to me when he died
[04:44.21] The monkey' s paw was with his things,
[04:47.69] but he told me about it before he died,'
[04:51.60] Tom Morris finished quietly
[04:54.95] ' What were his first two wishes, then?'
[04:58.41] Herbert asked ' What did he ask for?'
[05:03.22] ' I don' t know He didn' t want to tell me,'
[05:07.74] the soldier answered
[05:11.09] For a minute or two everybody was quiet,
[05:14.79] but then Herbert said,' And you,
[05:18.37] Mr Morris : did you have three wishes?'
[05:22.83] ' Yes, I did,' Morris answered' I was young
[05:29.47] I wanted many thingsa fast car,
[05:33.84] money ' Morris stopped for a minute
[05:39.72] and then he said with difficulty,
[05:42.79] ' My wife and my young son died in an accident in the car
[05:49.59] Without them I didn' t want the money,
[05:53.72] so, in the end, I wished to lose it
[05:57.72] But it was too late
[05:59.86] My wife and my child were dead'
[06:04.52] The room was very quiet
[06:07.41] The White family looked at the unhappy face of the old soldier
[06:12.83] Then Mr White said,' Why do you want the paw now?
[06:19.05] You don' t need it
[06:21.44] You can give it to someone'
[06:24.37] ' How can I give it to someone?'
[06:27.15] the soldier said' The monkey' s paw brings unhappiness with it'
[06:33.28] ' Well, give it to me,' Mr White said
[06:37.14] ' Perhaps this time it'
[06:39.13] ' No!' Tom Morris cried
[06:42.59] ' You' re my friend I can' t give it to you'
[06:48.42] then, after a minute, he said,
[06:51.47] ' I can' t give it to you,
[06:54.45] but, of course you can take it from me
[06:59.09] But rememberthis monkey' s paw brings unhappiness!'
[07:05.78] Old Mr White did not listen and he did not think Quickly,
[07:11.64] he put out his hand,
[07:13.01] and he took the paw
[07:15.86] Tom Morris looked unhappy,
[07:18.20] but Mr White did not want to wait
[07:22.52] ' What do I do now?' he asked his friend
[07:26.99] ' Yes, come on, Father,
[07:29.95] Herbert said' Make a wish!' And he laughed
[07:35.78] The soldier said nothing and Mr White asked him again,
[07:40.64] ' What do I do now?'
[07:44.40] At first the old soldier did not answer,
[07:48.20] but in the end he said quietly,' OK
[07:53.24] But remember! Be careful!
[07:57.10] Think before you make your wish,'
[08:00.80] ' Yes, yes,' Mr White said
[08:05.47] ' Take the paw in your right hand and then make your wish,
[08:11.15] but' tom Morris began
[08:14.49] ' Yes, we know,'
[08:16.77] Herbert said' Be careful!'
[08:21.08] Just then old Mrs White stood up
[08:24.72] and she began to get the dinner
[08:27.33] Her husband looked at her
[08:29.88] Then he smiled and said to her,
[08:32.92] ' Come on Help me ! What can I wish for?
[08:38.13] We need money, of course'
[08:41.64] Mrs White laughed,
[08:43.98] but she thought for a minute and then she said,
[08:47.63] ' Well, I' m getting old now and sometimes it' s difficult to do everything
[08:55.95] Perhaps I need four hands and not two
[09:00.25] Yes, ask the paw to give me two more hands'
[09:05.98] ' OK, then,' her husband said,
[09:09.72] and he took the monkey' s paw in his right hand
[09:13.71] Everybody watched him and for a minute he waited
[09:18.94] Then he opened his mouth to make his wish
[09:22.84] Suddenly Tom Morris stood up
[09:25.93] ' Don' t do it!' he cried
[09:29.52] The old soldier' s face was white
[09:32.81] Herbert and his mother laughed,
[09:35.24] but Mr White looked at Tom' s face
[09:39.31] Old Mr White was afraid
[09:41.75] and he put the monkey' s paw into his pocket
[09:45.61] After a minute or two they sat down at the table
[09:48.76] and began to have dinner
[09:51.59] The soldier told the family many strange
[09:54.04] and wonderful stories about India
[09:57.11] They forgot the monkey' s paw,
[09:59.74] and because the soldier' s stories were interesting,
[10:03.08] they asked him many questions about India
[10:06.75] When Tom Morris stood up to leave,
[10:09.81] it was very late
[10:12.58] ' Thank you for a very nice evening,'
[10:15.62] Morris said to the family'
[10:17.74] And thank you for a very good dinner,
[10:21.15] ' he said to Mrs White
[10:24.09] ' It was a wonderful evening for us, Tom,'
[10:28.08] Old Mr White answered' Your stories were very interesting
[10:35.68] Our life isn' t very exciting and we don' t have the money to visit India,
[10:41.72] so please come again soon
[10:44.85] You can tell us some more stories about India'
[10:49.54] Then the old soldier put on his coat
[10:53.07] He said goodbye to the White family,
[10:55.66] and went out into the rain
