The author said the monkeys paw came from India. So I think the tale was from India.
In "The Monkey's Paw," the characters are Mr. and Mrs. White, their son Herbert, and Sergeant-Major Morris. Mr. White is curious and somewhat skeptical, Mrs. White is superstitious, Herbert is optimistic, and Sergeant-Major Morris is mysterious and warns them about the monkey's 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.
Sergeant Major Morris's reaction suggests that the monkey's paw carries a heavy, ominous weight, hinting at the negative consequences of its wishes. His whitened face indicates fear or dread, implying that his experiences with the paw were troubling and perhaps tragic. This implies that the paw’s ability to grant wishes comes with unintended and potentially disastrous outcomes, serving as a warning to others about tampering with fate.
