钱运来什么也没说。这时候,张希平从钱运来手里拿起那个东西,看了一下,说:“啊!它是一只爪子1,一只小猴子2的爪子。”

“猴子的爪子?”张贵生觉得很有意思3,他笑着说:“钱叔叔4,这就是你从云南带回来的猴爪?”

“你别小看5它,你要知道,这个猴爪很神奇6,它有魔力7。”钱运来说。

张贵生又笑了。但是钱运来认真8地说:“这个神奇的猴爪是一个云南人给我一个朋友的。这个猴爪有魔力,是因为它能帮你实现9三个愿望10!”

“真的吗?”张贵生很好奇11

“真的。但是这三个愿望实现的时候,可能12会带来一些不好的事。它会让你得到13一些东西,也会让你失去14一些东西。”钱运来说。

“你那个朋友的三个愿望都实现了吗?”张希平问。

“是的。”钱运来看起来15不怎么开心,“他的生意16很好,但是他的最后一个愿望是去死!”

听到钱运来这样说,张太太很害怕17,马上问:“那他死了吗?”

“是的,他死了。他没有家人18,所以他家里所有的东西,他都给了我。猴爪就是他给我的。”钱运来说。

听他这样说,张希平一家都不说话了。他们都在想:这个猴爪真的那么神奇吗?
