A: Ngokuvamile kuba 5-10 izinsuku uma izimpahla in isitokwe. noma sekuyizinsuku 10-15 uma izimpahla zingekho isitokwe, it is ngokuvumelana ngobuningi. the story begins with the line, &quot;without, the night was cold and wet.&quot; herbert says that he doesn't see the money and he bets he never will. the story does not show who is knocking at the door or give the reason the father does not want his son to come back. the son comes back from the dead. the story deals with a monkey's paw that can be used to make wishes. the father is forced to decide between pleasing his wife or sending his son back to his grave. the wish comes true but in a very tragic way when the mother hears the knocking, she rushes to the door. the father tries to find the paw, the mother can't get the door open, the wish is made, and then there is silence. the story ends with nothing at the door and an eerie quietness all around.
