The Monkey's Paw: W W Jacobs
The Monkey's Paw" is a horror short story by author W. W. Jacobs. It was published in England in 1902.
The story is based on traditional stories in which three wishes are granted. In the story, the paw of a dead monkey is a talisman that grants its possessor three wishes, but the wishes come with such an enormous price that the final wish is to undo all the previous ones.

The Monkey's Paw. If you liked it, there is an interesting retelling of it in a book called 'Prom Nights from Hell' which is a compilation of stories.

I don't remember the author, but I believe the story is called 'The Monkey's Paw'. It's enough to make you think twice about making wishes...
