He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.’ So after saying that he gets doubtful saying that he would actually rather burn the paw. Curious Mr White convinces him to give it ...
