(from "The Monkey's Paw." by W. W. Jacobs) "If you've had your three wishes, it's no good to you now, then, Morris," said the old man at last. "What do you keep it for?"
The soldier shook his head. "Fancy. I suppose," he said slowly.
"If you could have another three wishes," said the old man, eyeing him keenly, 'would you have them?"
"I don't know." said the other. "I don't know."
He took the paw, and dangling it between his front finger and thumb, suddenly threw it upon the fire. White, with a slight cry, stooped down
and snatched it off.
"Better let it burn." said the soldier solemnly.
"If you don't want it. Morris," said the old man, "give it to me."
"I won't," said his friend doggedly [definition: stubbornly). "I threw it on the fire. If you keep it don't blame me for what happens. Pitch it on the
fire again, like a sensible man."
The other shook his head and examined his new possession closely. "How do you do it?" he inquired.
"Hold it up in your right hand and wish aloud,' said the sergeant-major, "but I warn you of the consequences."
"Sounds like the Arabian Nights," said Mrs White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of
hands for me?"
Her husband drew the talisman (definition: a charm thought to have special powers) from his pocket and then all three burst into laughter as
the sergeant-major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.
"If you must wish," he said gruffly. "wish for something sensible."
Mr. White dropped it back into his pocket, and placing chairs, motioned his friend to the table. In the business of supper the talisman was
partly forgotten, and afterward the three sat listening in an enthralled fashion to a second installment of the soldier's adventures in India.
If the effect was Mr. White receiving the monkey's paw, what was the cause? What sentences and signal words tell you this? Be as detailed as
possible in your response. Provide at least three sentences for your answer. Include specific quotations from the text that show why you came
to your conclusion
