Hills Like White Elephants

Inthis story, a young couple ( whose names are unidentified except the girl's name which is Jig) Took a trip to the hills across the valley of Ebro. The girl and her husband decided to get a beer on such a hot day. As the girl sipped her beer, she looked out the window at the hills and thought they looked like white elephants. When her husband said he'd never seen one, she said he wouldn't have, and they began to argue. While they were arguing, the girl noticed a sign that said a new drink has been made. For a moment, they stopped arguing, and decided to try the new drink. After they finished their drink, they started another conversation about their life afterwards, but when the girl said they could have the whole world, her husband said they couldn't and said he just wants her to be happy. When the waitress came overhand said the train would be leaving in five minutes, the man bright the bags to the train station, while his wife sat there drinking her beer. When he came back and asked her if she was all right, she said she felt fine, absolutely fine.
