This question is about "The Monkey’s Paw"
Answer:
To emphasize the mystical power of the rabbit's paw, as there are many legends about animals and mysticism in India.

India is a land with many legends and many stories involving mysticism and animals. This was built mainly due to the cultural and religious characteristics of India that ended up creating a stereotype about the "magical" objects that are created there.
