What Is The Monkey's Paw Prequel
Monkey’s Paw Prequel It was a dark and rainy Tuesday night in India. As Bakul Chahal was walking home from work to his family, he noticed an old fakir sitting on the side of the street. The fakir asked him to come here, Bakul did as he said and came. “What may I do for you?”, asked Bakul. The fakir handed him this weird hairy hand. “What is this?”, asked Bakul, the fakir responded, “This is a monkey’s paw”, it is used to grant 3 wishes.” “How might it work?”, said Bakul. “You hold it up and make your wish”. Bakul chose to wait until he got home to make his wishes. When he got home, he showed his wife, daughter, and son what he had got from the fakir. His daughter,Ganda, and son, Daha looked at it in amazement, but his wife, Ladia didn’t believe that it would work. “What should I wish for?”, said Bakul. “You should wish for all of us to travel somewhere around the world”, said Daha. “That’s a great idea”, said Bakul, “I agree”, Ganda said. “It sounds great, but do you really think it’ll work”, said Ladia. “All we can do is try”, Bakul said. Bakul held up his hand and wished for all of them to travel …show more content…
He decided to wake them up so they all could find a way home. He tried to wake up Baha first, he wouldn’t wake up, he wasn’t breathing, he was dead. He tried waking up Ganda, she was dead as well. “Those berries must have been poison”, Bakul thought to himself. “It’s all my fault”, Bakul said. “If it wasn’t for my silly wish, my family would still be alive”. Bakul was angry at the paw, “Why did you kill my family?”, he said. Bakul quickly wrote a note on a piece of paper from his traveling bag and put the note on the ground beside him. For Bakul’s third and final wish, he wished to be dead. Seconds later, Bakul was dead. Him and his family then magically disappeared, except for the paw. Two years later, a man by the name of Sergeant Major Morris finds it and next to a torn up note from

    As soon as he got to the house, his excitement took over and he wet all over the carpet. The dad yelled at the puppy and stuck him in a cage for the rest of the day. Throughout the week, the untrained puppy got into things he wasn't supposed to until he got yelled at. At the end of the week, he went back to the pet store and the family told Darla that he was too much for them and they couldn't care for him anymore. The weeks went by and the poor puppy would get sent to a family only to be taken back to the pet shop at the end of the week. No one would buy him because of his missing leg and the fact that he was untrained. The puppy began to lose hope as he went through the motions day after day, week after week, and month after month until one day, he was sitting in his kennel when the door rang open. He didn't even raise his head but he heard the sound of a young girls voice. The sound of footsteps could be heard coming closer along with a dull thumping sound. The young dog sat up in the corner as the people approached. A small head poked into view as large sea green eyes peered at him behind curly auburn hair. "Oooh," she squealed, "He's adorable!" The puppy had been through this before, as soon as she saw his leg, she would walk away in disgust. In a desperate attempt, he tried to hide the stub where his leg used to be.

He sneaks the pup onto the train and takes him to work, where a Japanese college professor, Ken, translates the symbol on the pup's collar as 'Hachi', Japanese for 'good fortune', and the number 8. Parker decides to call the dog 'Hachi'. Ken points out that perhaps the two are meant to be together. Parker attempts to play fetch with Hachi, but he refuses to join in. Meanwhile Cate receives a call about someone wanting to adopt Hachi. After seeing how close her husband has come to Hachi, however, Cate tells the caller that Hachi has already been adopted.
