Who Was Responsible For Herbert's Death

Did you ever wonder why Herbert died? It all started on a dark stormy night while playing chess. A man from far away land knocked on the door. He told a tail of a magical paw. The paw would let you make three wishes. In the story monkeys paw the son Herbert’s dies. I believe Herbert is the blame. Since Herbert didn’t believe in the paw he caused his own death. We were going to be rich and happy. Wish to be an emperor. He was making fun of the mystery of the paw. That could have been a reason he put death on his self for not believing and making fun of it. He sat in the darkness gazing at the dying fire. He was probably thinking of bad things. He had seen his own big face in the mist of the fire. Those were probably signs of him be deceased.
