Me

[@user-ug2hk3go6i]

So, did you pass?

[@johnd.obrien6838]

Looks and sounds much better - well done!

[@shenaypretty]

This was a good short film. My Mom told me about this. It sure was creepy😱 Thanks for posting!

[@BABYWOLF--1966]

I think that the man with the moustache could be the teacher in the 1979 video of pink Floyd's ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL??🤔🤔

[@user-ug2hk3go6i]

Yes.

[@soslothful]

The older lead male, is this the same actor who was the headmaster in The Wall?

[@michaelwesley1937]

Yep..

[@user-gy8co5qy2z]

Yes! I just made a post about it, too😂

[@ilpezkato]

EXCELLENT!!! Thank you 🙂

[@BABYWOLF--1966]

Be careful what you wish for

[@user-gy8co5qy2z]

I don’t know if anyone is going to read this, but isn't the dad the same actor that plays the schoolmaster in Pink Floyd's The Wall?

[@user-ug2hk3go6i]

AH! He seemed familiar but I could not place him. I believe you are right.

[@msatxgault560]

Well done 👏🏽

[@granexcereal]

I actually cant believe that jerma led me to this, wtf

[@robmckay5700]

Morris reminds me of Rowan Atkinson

What would 200 pounds be worth in USD in 1902?

[@user-rf8qs6sw9k]

Wishes are real but there not magic there just wishes and it's a trinket

[@user-ug2hk3go6i]

Within the tale the paw is a magical device.

[@redblade8160]

So what happened at the end?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Saddle blade

[@soslothful]

It is not clear in this version, but in the original story the father wished Herbert dead again. Herbert had been mangled in the factory machinery and had 12 days of decomposition. Something his mother would not like to have seen.

[@10191927]

@@soslothful- The irony being that the only sensible thing the father wished for was his son to be dead and at peace.

[@homounsapiens1287]

The story is pure garbage, badly written and the plot even a stoned up high schooler could've done better, When I read this piece I was annoyed: HOW does this even deserved the life of a tree to be printed?

[@eric0380]

Harsh words for someone who doesn't respect the message of the tale

[@user-ug2hk3go6i]

Specifically what fault do you find in the tale? What better story do you offer?
