ERNEST HEMINGWAY

(1899-4961)

HILLS LIKE WHITE ELEPHANTS

The hills across the valley of the Ebro' were long and white. On this side

there was no shade and no trees and therefore the station was between two lines of

rails within the sun. Close against the side of the station there was the nice and cozy 

shadow of the building and a curtain, made from strings of bamboo beads,

hung across the open door into the bar, to stay out flies. The American and

the girl with him sat at a table within the shade, outside the building. it had been very

hot and therefore the express from Barcelona would are available forty minutes. It

stopped at this junction for 2 minutes and went on to Madrid.

"What should we drink?" the girl asked. She had began her hat and

put it on the table.

"It's pretty hot," the person said.

"Let's drink beer."

"Dos cervezas," the person said into the curtain.

"Big ones?" a lady asked from the doorway.

"Yes. Two big ones."

The woman brought two glasses of beer and two felt pads. She put the

felt pads and therefore the refore the beer glasses on the table and checked out the person and the

girl. The girl was looking off at the road of hills. They were white within the sun

and the country was brown and dry.

"They appear as if white elephants," she said.

"I've never seen one," the person drank his beer.

"No, you would not have."

"I may need ," the person said. "Just because you say i would not have

doesn't prove anything."

The girl checked out the bead curtain. "They've painted something thereon ,"

she said. "What does it say?"

"Anis del Toro. it is a drink."

"Could we try it?"

The man called "Listen" through the curtain. the lady came out

from the bar.

"Four reales."

"We want two Anis del Toro."

"With water?"

"Do you would like it with water?"

"I do not know ," the girl said. "Is it good with water?"

"It's alright ."

"You want them with water?" asked the lady .

"Yes, with water."

"It tastes like licorice," the girl said and put the glass down.

"That's the way with everything."

"Yes," said the girl. "Everything tastes of licorice. Especially all the

things you've waited goodbye for, like absinthe."

"Oh, cut it out."

"You started it," the girl said. "I was being amused. i used to be having a fine

time."

"Well, let's attempt to have a fine time."

"All right. i used to be trying. I said the mountains seemed like white elephants. Wasn't that bright?"

"That was bright."

"I wanted to undertake this new drink. That's all we do, isn't it—look at things

and try new drinks?"

" i assume so."

The girl looked across at the hills.

"They're lovely hills," she said. "They don't really appear as if white elephants. I just meant the coloring of their skin through the trees." "Should

we have another drink?"

"All right."

The warm wind blew the bead curtain against the table.

"The beer's nice and funky ," the person said.

"It's lovely," the girl said.

"It's really an awfully simple operation, Jig," the person said. "It's not

really an operation in the least ."

The girl checked out the bottom the table legs rested on.

" i do know you would not mind it, Jig. It's really nothing . It's just to let

the air in."

The girl didn't say anything.

"I'll accompany you and I'll stick with you all the time. they only let the air in

and then it's all perfectly natural."

"Then what is going to we do afterward?"

"We'll be fine afterward. a bit like we were before."

"What causes you to think so?"

"That's the sole thing that bothers us. it is the only thing that's made us

unhappy."

The girl checked out the bead curtain, put her distribute and took hold of

two of the strings of beads.

"And you think that then we'll be alright and be happy."

"I know we'll . you do not need to be afraid. I've known many people

that have done it."

"So have I," said the girl. "And afterward they were all so happy."

"Well," the person said, "if you do not want to you do not need to . i would not 

have you roll in the hay if you didn't want to. But i do know it's perfectly simple."

"And you actually want to?"

" i feel it is the neatest thing to try to to . But i do not want you to try to to it if you

don't actually need to."

"And if I roll in the hay are going to be "> you will be happy and things will be like they were and

you'll love me?"

"I love you now. you recognize i really like you."

"I know. But if I roll in the hay , then it'll be nice again if I say things are like

white elephants, and you will like it?"

"I'll like it . i really like it now but I just can't believe it. you recognize how I

get once I worry."

"If I roll in the hay you will not ever worry?"

" I won't worry that because it's perfectly simple."

"Then I'll roll in the hay . Because i do not care about me."

"What does one mean?"

" i do not care about me."

"Well, I care about you."

"Oh, yes. But i do not care about me. And I'll roll in the hay then everything

will be fine."

" i do not want you to try to to it if you are feeling that way."

The girl stood up and walked to the top of the station. Across, on the

other side, were fields of grain and trees along the banks of the Ebro. Far

away, beyond the river, were mountains. The shadow of a cloud moved

across the sector of grain and she or he saw the river through the trees.

"And we could have all this," she said. "And we could have everything

and every day we make it more impossible."

"What did you say?"

"I said we could have everything."

"We can have everything."

"No, we can't."

"We can have the entire world."

"No, we can't."

"We can go everywhere."

"No, we can't. it is not ours any longer ."

"It's ours."

"No, it isn't. And once they take it away, you never catch on back."

"But they haven't taken it away."

"We'll wait and see."

"Come on back within the shade," he said. "You mustn't feel that way." "I

don't feel any way," the girl said. "I just know things."

" i do not want you to try to to anything that you simply don't need to do—"

"Nor that may not good on behalf of me ," she said. "I know. Could we've another

beer?"

"All right. But you've to realize—"

"I realize," the girl said. "Can't we maybe stop talking?"

They sat down at the table and therefore the girl looked across at the hills on the

dry side of the valley and therefore the man checked out her and at the table.

"You've need to realize," he said, "that i do not want you to try to to it if you

Ernest Hemingway 231

don't want to. I'm perfectly willing to travel through with it if it means any-thing

to you."

"Doesn't it mean anything to you? We could get along."

"Of course it does. But i do not want anybody but you. i do not want any

one else. and that i know it's perfectly simple."

"Yes, you recognize it's perfectly simple."

"It's alright for you to mention that, but I do realize it ."

"Would you are doing something on behalf of me now?"

"I'd do anything for you."

"Would you please please please please please please please stop

talking?"

He didn't say anything but checked out the luggage against the wall of the

station. there have been labels on them from all the hotels where that they had spent

nights.

"But i do not want you to," he said, "I don't care anything about it."

"I'll scream,"

 the girl said.

The woman came out through the curtains with two glasses of beer and

put them down on the damp felt pads. "The train comes in five minutes," she

said.

"What did she say?" asked the girl.

"That the train is coming in five minutes."

The girl smiled brightly at the lady , to thank her.

"I'd better take the luggage over to the opposite side of the station," the man

said. She smiled at him.

"All right. Then come and we'll finish the beer."

He picked up the 2 heavy bags and carried them round the station to

the other tracks. He searched the tracks but couldn't see the train.

Coming back, he walked through the barroom, where people expecting the

train were drinking. He drank an Anis at the bar and checked out the people.

They were all waiting reasonably for the train. He went out through the bead

curtain. She was sitting at the table and smiled at him.

"Do you are feeling better?"

 he asked.

"I feel fine," she said. "There's nothing wrong with me. I feel fine."
