How did sergeant major Morris acquire the paw?
Since the Sergeant Major first speaks about being in India, we can assume that when he speaks of the Fakir who put the spell on the paw that the incident occurred while he was in India. By interpolation of what he says, we can infer that one of Morris' colleagues had a dispute about fate with a Fakir who cursed the paw to prove a point. After the initial man had his first two wishes he wished for death as his third wish and it was bequeathed to Morris afterwards.
What was the spell that was placed on the monkeys paw?
An old fakir, from India, puts a spell on the paw for three men to have three wishes each. According to Sergeant Major Morris the first man's last wish was for death and he isn't keen on revealing what his wishes were. This indicates that the paw is bad and will only ever bring bad fortune.

Why did the fakir put the curse on the paw in the monkeys paw?
I think, the reason why did the fakir put a spell or curse on the paw was that he wanted to show and let the people know that they should not mess with fate. We used to know that people are greedy and selfish. Sometimes, people are tempted to any material and earthly things and with that, they used to grab the opportunity or even misuse it in order to satisfy their desire. For me, it is not right to desire any of those things for it will just lose and we cannot bring it to the next life. The real intention of the fakir was that a person should think first of what he or she want to wish and think wisely whether are there persons who ill be involved by these. Lastly, the best thing to do is to be contented of what you have and just be happy of it for the true happiness is that you live healthy and you are still alive. that's all, i hope it help a lot.... by: jl
What are the reason Major Morris gave for the magic powers the paw possessed the monkey's paw?
Major Morris says that a fakir from India had given him the paw. He says that the reason for the paw containing magic powers was that before he got the paw, the paw had been used by three other people whose wishes came rue, in which the third person wished such a thing that he died. After that Morris received the paw. He considered the monkey's paw to be a curse because it did behold magical powers to fulfil people's wishes, but when someone wished for something, it fulfilled the wish in a very dreadful manner.
