基础段-猴爪（简写版第5集）

一，原文文章：

　'India is a wonderful country，' Mr White said．'What exciting stories！ It was a good evening．'

    'Yes，'Herbert said．' Morris told some interesting stories， but， of course， some of them weren't true． ''That story about the monkey's paw wasn't true． A dirty little monkey's paw isn't magic！ But it was a good story．' And Herbert smiled．

　'Well，I think you're right， Herbert，' his mother said．
　'I don't know，' Mr White said quietly．'Perhaps the story was true． Strange things can happen sometimes．'
　Mrs White looked at her husband．'Did you give some money to Tom Morris for that paw？' she asked．'We don't have money to give away for nothing！' Mrs White was angry now．

　'Well，yes，'her husband answered．'I did， but not much， and at first he didn't want to take it． He wanted the monkey's paw．'

   'Well，he can't have it，'Herbert laughed．'It's our paw now and we're going to be rich and happy．Come on， Father．Make a wish！'

 'Money，of course，'Herbert answered quickly．'We need money！ You're always thinking about money． That's be cause we haven't got very much of it． With money you can pay for this house ．It can be your house！ Go on， Father， wish for thirty thousand pounds！'

　Then Mr White took the monkey's paw in his right hand． He was afraid， but he looked at his wife and she smiled at him．
　'Go on，' she said．
　Slowly and carefully Mr White said，'I wish for thirty thousand pounds．'
　Suddenly he gave a cry and Mrs White and Herbert ran to him．
　'What's the matter， Father？' Herbert asked．
　'It moved！' Mr White cried．'The monkey's paw—it moved！'
