一，原文文章

      Mr White said，'Come in， come in， Tom． It's wonderful to see you again． What a bad night！ Give me your coat and then come into the living－room． It's nice and warm in there．'

     The front door was open， and in the living-room Mrs White and Herbert felt the cold． Then Mr White came back into the living－room with a big，red-faced man．

      'This is Tom Morris，' Mr White told his wife and son． 'We were friends when we were young． We worked togetherbefore Tom went to India． Tom， this is my wife and this is our son， Herbert．'

       'Let's have some whisky，'Old Mr White said．'You need something to warm you on a cold night．' He got out a bottle of whisky and the two old friends began to drink and talk． The little family listened with interest to this visitor from far away and he told them many strange stories．

     'It's better for you here！' the soldier said quickly．

     Old Mr White did not stop．'But your stories were interesting， 'he said to Tom Morris．'What did you begin to say about a monkey's paw？'

　'Nothing！' Morris answered quickly．'Well…nothing important．'

　'A monkey's paw？' Mrs White said．

　'Come on， Mr Morris！ Tell us about it，' Herbert said．
