Mr. White ends up saving the monkey's paw from the fire, and Sergeant-Major Morris reluctantly instructs him to wish for something sensible before he leaves. After Sergeant-Major Morris leaves, Mr. White remarks that he does not know what to wish for because he seems to already have everything he wants. Herbert responds by telling his father to wish for two hundred pounds in order to pay off the mortgage. Mr. White is very close to paying off his home, which is why his son tells him to wish for the remaining two hundred pounds to pay it off. Mr. White takes his son's advice and holds the monkey's paw as he wishes for two hundred pounds. Unfortunately, Mr. White's wish comes at a steep price. In Part Two, Herbert dies in a work-related accident and the White family is rewarded two hundred pounds as compensation.
