Hills Like White Elephants Summary

In the story, "Hills like White Elephants", we are focused upon two people, a man and a woman, sitting at a train station in Spain, having some sort of discussion. The man tries to convince the girl to have some procedure done. The girl continually questions this procedure, and the happiness the two will have afterward. Although the procedure is never actually recognized, one can draw that the man is trying to convince her to do something involving child-bearing, the girl having her tubes tide or an abortion. In the end of the story, the man comes back and asks the girl how she feels, to which she just says that she feels fine.
