The monkey's paw curse - Iseult Gillespie

Dig into W.W. Jacobs’ horror story, “The Monkey’s Paw,” about an artifact that grants wishes — with great consequences.--Sergeant-Major Morris regaled his friends with epic tales from faraway lands— until one asked about an artifact the Sergeant had alluded to. Slowly, he produced the object: a mummified monkey’s paw. He explained that a holy man had imbued the paw with the power to grant three wishes to three men. But each wish comes with chilling consequences. Iseult Gillespie shares the tale of the monkey’s paw.Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Kayu Leung.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-curse-of-the-monkeys-paw-iseult-gillespieDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-curse-of-the-monkeys-paw-iseult-gillespie/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://linktr.ee/kayu.caillou.leung Music: https://linktr.ee/redstems Sound design: https://soundgoods.tv----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
