Answer 1

Answer:

Sergeant-Major Morris fears for the curiosity and human greed displayed by the White family, in addition to fearing for what may happen to their next owner.

Explanation:

The book "The monkey's paw" is a novel of the genre of horror literature, published in 1902, it tells how Sergeant-Major Morris gets a stuffed monkey leg that was haunted and fulfills 3 wishes to 3 different owners, and that its current owner's wishes are fulfilled but in a counterproductive way.
