| On to the weekend challenge. The Monkey’s Paw, a short story by W.W. Jacobs, is about the strings that come with granted wishes. We are asking you to write 33 words exactly about three wishes that come at a high price to the wisher. |  |
First off, who thought of the Monkey Paw skit from “The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror II?”
Anyway, here are 3 wishes that kind of backfire.
