How does Herbert's reaction to wishing on the monkey's

paw differ from his father's?

Read the excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw."

Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it

dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact,"

he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."

"If you only cleared the house, you'd be quite happy,

wouldn't you?" said Herbert, with his hand on his shoulder.

"Well, wish for two hundred pounds, then, that'll just do it."

His father, smiling shamefacedly at his own credulity, held

up the talisman, as his son, with a solemn face, somewhat

marred by a wink at his mother, sat down at the piano and

struck a few impressive chords.

"I wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly.

Herbert is more nervous.

Herbert is more lighthearted.

Herbert is more greedy

Herbert is more unsuspecting.
