| [00:04.53] | Chapter 3 |
| [00:07.63] | It was nearly midnight. |
| [00:10.30] | In their warm living-room, |
| [00:12.26] | the two old people and their son sat |
| [00:14.39] | and talked about the soldier's stories. |
| [00:17.96] | 'India is a wonderful country,' Mr White said. |
| [00:22.65] | 'What exciting stories! |
| [00:25.05] | It was a good evening.' |
| [00:28.08] | Mrs White stood up to take some things into the kitchen, |
| [00:31.91] | but she stopped and listened to Herbert and his father. |
| [00:35.76] | 'Yes,'Herbert said. |
| [00:38.51] | ' Morris told some interesting stories, |
| [00:41.71] | but, of course, some of them weren't true. ' |
| [00:45.27] | 'Oh Herbert!'Mrs White said. |
| [00:49.29] | 'Well, Mother, that story about the monkey's paw wasn't true. |
| [00:54.42] | A dirty little monkey's paw isn't magic! |
| [00:58.02] | But it was a good story.' And Herbert smiled. |
| [01:02.79] | 'Well,I think you're right, Herbert,' his mother said. |
| [01:09.14] | 'I don't know,' Mr White said quietly. |
| [01:14.06] | 'Perhaps the story was true. |
| [01:17.50] | Strange things can happen sometimes.' |
| [01:21.67] | Mrs White looked at her husband. |
| [01:24.96] | 'Did you give some money to Tom Morris for that paw?' |
| [01:29.47] | she asked.'We don't have money to give away for nothing!' |
| [01:34.87] | Mrs White was angry now. |
| [01:37.83] | 'Well,yes,'her husband answered. |
| [01:41.80] | 'I did, but not much, |
| [01:45.28] | and at first he didn't want to take it. |
| [01:47.89] | He wanted the monkey's paw.' |
| [01:51.03] | 'Well,he can't have it,'Herbert laughed. |
| [01:54.80] | 'It's our paw now and we're going to be rich and happy. |
| [02:00.59] | Come on, Father.Make a wish!' |
| [02:05.10] | Old Mr White took the paw from his pocket. |
| [02:09.27] | 'OK,Herbert, but what am I going to ask for? |
| [02:14.79] | I have everything-you, |
| [02:17.24] | your mother. What do I need?' |
| [02:21.00] | 'Money,of course,'Herbert answered quickly. |
| [02:25.21] | 'We need money! |
| [02:27.33] | You're always thinking about money. |
| [02:30.19] | That's because we haven't got very much of it. |
| [02:33.55] | With money you can pay for this house . |
| [02:37.41] | It can be your house! |
| [02:39.95] | Go on, Father, wish for thirty thousand pounds!' |
| [02:45.80] | Herbert stopped talking and his old father thought for a minute. |
| [02:51.28] | The room was quiet and they could hear the rain on the windows. |
| [02:56.79] | Then Mr White took the monkey's paw in his right hand. |
| [03:01.45] | He was afraid, but he looked at his wife and she smiled at him. |
| [03:06.92] | 'Go on,' she said. |
| [03:10.47] | Slowly and carefully Mr White said, |
| [03:14.42] | 'I wish for thirty thousand pounds.' |
| [03:21.04] | Suddenly he gave a cry and Mrs White and Herbert ran to him. |
| [03:27.50] | 'What's the matter, Father?' Herbert asked. |
| [03:31.04] | 'It moved!' Mr White cried. |
| [03:34.66] | 'The monkey's paw-it moved!' |
| [03:39.44] | They looked at the paw. |
| [03:41.68] | It was now on the floor and not in the old man's hand. |
| [03:46.46] | The family watched it, |
| [03:48.25] | and they waited-but it did not move again. |
| [03:53.14] | So the little family sat down again and they waited. |
| [03:57.15] | Nothing happened |
| [03:59.36] | The noise of the rain on the windows was worse now |
| [04:03.14] | and their little living-room did not feel nice and warm. |
| [04:07.86] | Mrs White said,'It's cold Let's go to bed.' |
| [04:13.94] | Mr White did not answer and in the end Herbert said, |
| [04:18.68] | 'Well,there's no money,Father. |
| [04:22.33] | Your friend's story wasn't true.' |
| [04:25.83] | But Mr White did not answer. |
| [04:28.95] | He sat quietly and said nothing. |
| [04:32.39] | After some time Mrs White said to her husband, |
| [04:36.82] | 'Are you OK ?' |
| [04:39.01] | 'Yes,yes,' the old man answered, |
| [04:44.85] | 'but for a minute or two I was afraid.' |
| [04:48.22] | 'Well, we needed that money,' |
| [04:51.62] | Mrs White said,'but we aren't going to get it. |
| [04:55.99] | I'm tired. I'm going to bed.' |
| [05:00.80] | After Mrs White went to bed, |
| [05:03.34] | the two men sat and smoked for some time. |
| [05:07.51] | Then Herbert said,'Well,Father, |
| [05:11.42] | I'm going to bed too. |
| [05:13.69] | Perhaps the money is in a bag under your bed! |
| [05:17.34] | Good night, Father.'And Herbert laughed and went out of the room. |
| [05:24.27] | Old Mr White sat in the cold living-room for a long time. |
| [05:29.24] | The candle died and it was dark |
| [05:35.14] | Suddenly,the old man saw a face at the window. |
| [05:39.85] | Quickly, he looked again, |
| [05:42.81] | but there was nothing there. |
| [05:45.26] | He felt afraid. |
| [05:47.25] | Slowly he stood up and left the cold, dark room. |
