After years, I finally found the legendary monkey's paw. I have been on paw patrol for years...I feared that I would never get close to finding it. Alas, here the paw lies within mine, I cannot even fathom the power that is contained in such a small vessel. Lives have been devoted to finding this thing, for it is said that it has the power to grant any wish that you desire. The power to end world hunger, the power to bring world peace, the power to become the wealthiest person on the world.

I have spent countless days thinking of what I would even wish for if I ever even managed to get it. As I stand in the middle of this dilapidated temple, I found myself wondering where this thing even came from. As my thoughts raced my mind came to a concluding phrase that I whispered under my breath.

"Man, I wish I could see the rest of this monkey."

In an instant the paw disappeared from my hand and was replaced with a cloud of smoke. I heard thunder echo outside of the temple and the ground began to shake violently. Out of the smoke came a figure with its hands out stretched and approaching me slowly. I instinctively walked away from it and as the smoke cleared I was able to see what was approaching me. The paw that I held in my hand seconds prior was now attached to a body. A body full of hair, a body of a full grown MONKEY. I stood still in awe, and the monkey stared back at me as if it was reading my mind. I slowly raised my hand and waved slowly.

"He...hey" I Said slowly.

The monkey didn't break eye contact and said,

"OOo..OOOoo..ahhh....ahh.ahh."

I looked away from the monkey and looked down

"Can you understand me" I said

"ahh...ahh...ahhh...ooo" he said as we walked away.

I sat there and watched as he swung from tree to tree in complete shock.

After all these years, after all the lives lost, nothing could've prepared me, for a non English speaking monkey.
