As you would recall, to prove your point that fate rules a persons' life and those who interfered did so to their sorrow, you had cast a spell on a monkey's paw. The spell allowed the paw to grant three different wishes to three different people. Major tragedies befell upon the people that wished from the paw and impeded with fate.
             The last person to have made a set of three wishes, was a man by the name of Mr. White.
