基础段-猴爪（简写版第10集-跟读版）

Three days later，in the big，new cemetery two miles from their house，the two old people said goodbye to their dead son．Then they went back to their dark，old house． 

In the dark her husband heard her and he called，'Come back to bed． It's cold out there．'
'It's colder for my son，'his wife answered．'He's out there in the cold cemetery．'

Mrs White did not go back to bed， but Mr White was old and tired and the bed was warm． So，in the end，he went to sleep again． Suddenly he heard a cry from his wife．

'The paw！' she cried．'The monkey's paw！' She came back to the bed and stood there．

'What is it ？ What's the matter？'Mr White cried．He sat up in bed．'What's the matter？ 'he thought．'W

hy is she excited？

What's she talking about？

' He looked at his wife．

Her face was very white in the dark．'I want it，'she said quietly， 'and you've got it！ Give it to me！ Please！'

'What？' Mr White asked．

'The monkey's paw， Mrs White said．'Where is it？'

'It's downstairs， Mr White answered．'Why？'

Mrs White began to laugh and cry．'We

c

an have two more wishes！ 'she cried． 'We had one—but there are two more！'

'Oh，no！Not again！ Think， woman！' Mr White cried． But Mrs White did not listen．

'Quickly，' she said ．'

Go and get the paw

． We're going to wish for our boy to come back to us！'

'No！' Mr White cried．'You're mad！'

'Get it！ Get it quickly！' Mrs White cried again．

Mr White said again，'Think， woman！ Think！ Our boy was in the machinery for a long time． They didn't want to show him to us！ Think！Do you want to see his body？'

'Yes！ He's my son． I'm not afraid of him！' she answered．

'

You don't understand

，' Mr White said sadly， but he went downstairs to look for the monkey's paw．

In the bedroom his wife waited． She saw the paw in Mr White's hand and cried，'Quick！ Make the wish！'
'I can't，'Mr White answered． 'Remember—he died in the machinery！'
'Make the wish！ I'm not afraid of my own son！'Mrs White cried again．

'I wish for my son， Herbert， to come back to us．'
