This is the technically correct answer as monkeys do have hands. The story is from 1902 and maybe terminology has changed or the author thought it was the right term. Doesn’t matter once it was published.
A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and lemurs.
You have a paw, or palm, of your hand, as well as your feet. Seriously, kids…
You activated the magic by rubbing the palm/paw, not the knuckles. Not the fingers. This just seems so silly to me.
On that note, Tyler Durden and the Narrator were the same person. And Bruce Willis was a ghost. And when Jeff Dunham (sp? don’t like his comedy) is up there with the puppet, he is actually THE ONE SPEAKING, never the puppet.
So silly: do you refer to the palms of your feet? Do you refer to the back paws of a dog? Just dumb.
And you used effectively ineffectively.
Like, what effect are you affecting? You realize the difference between nouns and verbs, right? Because we are discussing nouns.
Just, I don’t know, etymology.
Oh, you sky-intists. You won the smart award for this.
And did you read it? You rub the palm.
(slow clap using my paws…)
Ok, so you know how you have features on your palm that stand out? Like the base of your fingers, the base of your thumb, and the opposing side: That IS your paw.
that’s how W. W. Jacobs decided to call it

The more you know. (shooting star)
“Paw” does not mean “palm”. It effectively means “animal forefoot” for furry animals with soft-bottomed round-ish feet.
Etymology. This is silly. Are you not an animal?
Me either. I am a rather fungi.

Are you high?
Are you from another world? You don’t know where your paws are? Jesus on a cracker, you are so damn ignorant.
Do I need to explain that you also have thighs? Not just chickens have them.
Seriously, what the hell do you use for grip? Your paws. This is insane.
Google grip with your paws. OMG, you are going to get your goddamn mind blown.
I know you haven’t worked construction, but you probably should wear a hard hat just in case.
Really cannot fathom why in the world I am having to explain something so fundamental.
You are one of the following:
I’m leaning 2, can you help me out?
Or just completely accurate.
Paws have claws. Do you have nails or claws on your feet and hands?
Yes… what?
Paws are part of the palm. You grip with them.
I swear, I want to shake the hands of all of the dorks so they can feel their fucking paws.
Paws are the entire structure. It’s not one side of an appendage.
You have to be just trolling. My entire cat’s foot isn’t a paw. Each foot or hand has multiple paws.
I think I am just talking to little kids.
Your cat’s entire foot is a paw
The word you seem to be getting confused is “pad”
Paw pad. The pad of the paw.
No, there is a pad to the paw, as there is a pad to your finger tips. There is a peak to a mountain. Goddamn, just I’m done.
