The poem compares the behavior of vultures to that of the commandant of the Belsen concentration camp. It describes vultures nesting together after picking the eyes out of a corpse and eating its insides. Similarly, the commandant would come home from the camp, where humans were roasted, still smelling of death, yet stop to buy chocolate for his child. The poem suggests that even in those capable of great cruelty, a small tenderness for their offspring ensures the continuation of evil in the world.
Ernest hemingway (1899 4961) hills like white elephantsronak56
This short story by Ernest Hemingway is set in a train station in rural Spain and focuses on an American man and his girlfriend. They are waiting for a train and discuss the possibility of the woman getting an abortion.
Though they appear happy at first, drinking beer and joking, their conversation soon turns serious as the man pressures the woman to get an abortion she is unsure about. She does not seem to want the procedure but acquiesces to please him. As they continue talking, it becomes clear there is tension and disagreement between them about having a child and their future together. The story ends as the train arrives, leaving their situation unresolved.

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 the station was between two lines of
rails in the sun. Close against the side of the station there was the warm
shadow of the building and a curtain, made of strings of bamboo beads,
hung across the open door into the bar, to keep out flies. The American and
the girl with him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very
hot and the express from Barcelona would come in forty minutes. It
stopped at this junction for two minutes and went on to Madrid.
"What should we drink?" the girl asked. She had taken off her hat and
put it on the table.
"It's pretty hot," the man said.
"Let's drink beer."
"Dos cervezas," the man said into the curtain.
"Big ones?" a woman 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 the beer glasses on the table and looked at the man and the
girl. The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun
and the country was brown and dry.
"They look like white elephants," she said.
"I've never seen one," the man drank his beer.
"No, you wouldn't have."
" I might have," the man said. "Just because you say I wouldn't have
doesn't prove anything."
The girl looked at the bead curtain. "They've painted something on it,"
she said. "What does it say?"
"Anis del Toro. It's a drink."
"Could we try it?"
The man called "Listen" through the curtain. The woman came out
from the bar.
"Four reales."
"We want two Anis del Toro."
"With water?"
"Do you want it with water?"
" I don't know," the girl said. "Is it good with water?"
"It's all right."
"You want them with water?" asked the woman.

"Yes, with water."
" I t 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 so long for, like absinthe."
"Oh, cut it out."
"You started it," the girl said. " I was being amused. I was having a fine
time."
"Well, let's try and have a fine time."
"All right. I was trying. I said the mountains looked like white ele-
phants. Wasn't that bright?"
"That was bright."
" I wanted to try this new drink. That's all we do, isn't it—look at things
and try new drinks?"
" I guess so."
The girl looked across at the hills.
"They're lovely hills," she said. "They don't really look like white ele-
phants. 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 cool," the man said.
"It's lovely," the girl said.

A Clean, Well-Lighted Place
BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY
It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the
shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the
street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit
late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.
The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while
he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without
paying, so they kept watch on him.
"Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter said.
"Why?"
"He was in despair."
"What about?"

"How do you know it was nothing?"
"He has plenty of money."
They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe
and looked at the terrace where the tableswere all empty except where the old man
sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind. A girl
and a soldier went by in the street. The street light shone on the brass number on
his collar. The girl wore no head covering and hurried beside him.
"The guard will pick him up," one waiter said.
"What does it matter if he gets what he's after?"
"He had better get off the street now. The guard will get him. They went by five
minutes ago."
The old man sitting in the shadow rapped on his saucer with his glass. The younger
waiter went over to him.
"What do you want?"
The old man looked at him. "Another brandy," he said.
"You'll be drunk," the waiter said. The old man looked at him. The waiter went
away.
"He'll stay all night," he said to his colleague. "I'm sleepy now.I never get into bed

The waiter took the brandy bottle and another saucer from thecounter inside the
cafe and marched out to the old man's table. Heput down the saucer and poured the
glass full of brandy.
"You should have killed yourself last week," he said to the deafman. The old man
motioned with his finger. "A little more," hesaid. The waiter poured on into the
glass so that the brandy slopped over and ran down the stem into the top saucer of
the pile."Thank you," the old man said. The waiter took the bottle back inside the
cafe. He sat down at the table with his colleague again.
"He's drunk now," he said.
"He's drunk every night."

It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the
shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the
street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit
late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.
The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while
he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without
paying, so they kept watch on him.
"Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter said.
"Why?"
"He was in despair."
"What about?"
"Nothing."
"How do you know it was nothing?"
"He has plenty of money."

Steak Tartare
It was Mr. Bean's birthday, and he wanted to enjoy it! What could he do?
'How can I make this important day a happy day?' he thought. 'I know. I'll
go out to a restaurant for dinner this evening! I'll enjoy that.'
Mr. Bean didn't often eat in restaurants. They were sometimes very
expensive. And he sometimes did things wrong when he was in a new or strange
place.
Oh dear! Life wasn't easy for Mr. Bean!
♦
That evening, Mr. Bean put on a clean shirt. He put on his best coat and
trousers. He put on his best shoes. Then he drove to a restaurant in the centre of
town.
He arrived at eight o'clock and went inside. It was a very nice restaurant.
Everybody was wearing their best clothes, and there were flowers on every table.
'I'm going to like it here,' thought Mr. Bean. 'This is a good restaurant for
my birthday dinner.'
The manager met him at the door.
'Good evening, sir,' he said. 'How are you? Would you like a table for one?'
'Yes, please,' said Mr. Bean.
'Follow me, sir,' said the manager.
He walked across the room to a table, and Mr. Bean went after him.
'Here you are, sir,' said the manager. 'This is a nice table.'
He pulled the chair away from the table. Then he waited for Mr. Bean to sit
down. Mr. Bean looked at him.
3. ‘Why is he taking my chair away?’ thought Mr. Bean. ‘What’s he doing?'
And he pulled the chair away from the manager and sat down quickly.
When the manager went away, Mr. Bean sat quietly for a minute. Then he
remembered something. He took a birthday card and an envelope out of his jacket.
Next, he took out a pen and wrote 'Happy Birthday, Bean' inside the card. Then he
put the card into the envelope and wrote his name on the outside of it. He put it on
the table, and put his pen back into his jacket.
After a minute or two, Mr. Bean pretended to see the card for the first time.
'Oh! A card - for me?' he said.
He opened the envelope and took out the card. He read it carefully.
'Now that's nice!' he said. 'Somebody remembered my birthday!'
And he stood the card on his table.
The manager arrived with the menu and gave it to Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean
started to read it.
'Oh, dear!' he thought. 'Everything's very expensive! What can I have?'
Mr. Bean got out his money. He had a ten-pound note and some coins. He
put the money on to a plate.
'How much have I got?' he said, and he moved the money round on the
plate. 'Ten, eleven ... And forty, fifty, fifty-five! Eleven pounds and fifty-five
pence.'
He looked at the menu again. What could he eat for eleven pounds fiftyfive?
The manager came to his table.
'Are you ready, sir?' he asked.
'Yes,' said Mr. Bean. He put his finger on the menu. 'I'll have that, please.'
The manager looked at the menu. 'The steak tartare, sir. Yes, of course.'
'Yes,' said Mr. Bean. 'Steak.'
The manager took the menu and went away.
Mr. Bean sat and looked round the restaurant. There were a lot of people in
the room. There was a man and a woman at the next table. They ate and talked.
Suddenly, a waiter arrived at Mr. Bean's table with a bottle of wine.
4. 'Would you like to try the wine, sir?' he said.
'Oh, yes please,' said Mr. Bean.
The waiter put some wine in Mr. Bean's glass and Mr. Bean had a drink. It
was very nice! He smiled, and the waiter tried to put more wine into the glass.
Of course, the waiter was right. First, the customer tries his wine. When he
is happy with it, the waiter gives him more wine. But Mr. Bean didn't know this,
and he quickly put his hand across the glass.
'No, thank you,' he said. 'I don't drink wine when I'm driving.' The waiter
looked at him strangely - and walked away. He didn't say, 'Why did you try the
wine when you didn't want it, you stupid man!'
Mr. Bean took the knife from the table and started to play with it. He
pretended to be a bad man. He pretended to push the knife into somebody. But he
didn't really want to kill anybody, of course. It was a game.
The woman at the next table looked at him angrily, and Mr. Bean quickly
moved the knife. Next, he hit the glasses and plate on his table with it. Ping, ping,
ping they went! And after a minute, he played the song 'Happy Birthday' on the
glasses. He smiled and thought, 'I'm very clever!'
But the woman at the next table didn't think, 'That's clever!' or 'Oh yes,
that's funny!' She thought, 'That man's really stupid!' And she looked hard at Mr.
Bean.
Mr. Bean put the knife down and looked at his napkin.
'It's a very nice napkin,' he thought.
The waiter saw Mr. Bean looking at his napkin. He didn't say anything, but
suddenly —flick! — he opened it for Mr. Bean.
'That's clever,' thought Mr. Bean. 'I'll try that!'
And he began to move his napkin. Flick! Flick! Flick!
Suddenly, the napkin flew out of his hand. It flew across on to the next
table. The woman at the table looked round again. But Mr. Bean pretended not to
see her. His face said, 'It's not my napkin!'
A minute later, the waiter arrived with his food. There was a large cover on
the plate and Mr. Bean couldn't see the food. But he gave the waiter the money on
5. the table.
Customers don't usually give a waiter money when he arrives with the food.
But the waiter didn't say anything. He took the money and put it in his jacket.
Mr. Bean was happy. 'I'm doing everything right,' he thought.
The waiter took the cover off the plate and walked away. Mr. Bean looked
at the food in front of him. He put his nose near the meat and smelled it. Then he
put his ear next to it.
'What's this?' he thought.
He put some of the meat into his mouth.
Suddenly, the manager arrived at his table.
'Is everything all right, sir?' he asked. 'Are you happy with everything?'
'Mmmmm,' said Mr. Bean. He smiled.
The manager smiled, too. He walked away — and Mr. Bean's face changed.
There was no smile now. 'Aaagh!' he thought. 'They didn't cook this meat!'
But he had to eat it. 'I don't want people to think that I'm stupid,' he thought.
'But I'll never ask for steak tartare again! Never!'
He pushed his plate away.
But then the waiter went past his table.
'Is everything all right, sir?' he asked.
'Oh, yes,' said Mr. Bean. He smiled. 'Yes, everything's very nice, thank you.'
He smiled and pretended to eat some meat. But the waiter went away before
Mr. Bean put it into his mouth.
'What can I do with it?' he thought. 'I can't eat this. Where can I hide it?'
Then he had an idea. Carefully, he put the meat into the mustard pot and put
the cover on it.
'Where can I put some now?' he thought. 'I can't eat it, so I've got to hide all
of it. Oh, yes, the flowers!'
He took the flowers out of the vase. But then the manager went past, so Mr.
Bean pretended to smell the flowers.
'Mmm, very nice!' he said.
The manager smiled and walked away.
6. Quickly, Mr. Bean put some meat into the vase and pushed the flowers in
on top of it.
He looked round the table.
'Where next?' he thought. 'Yes! The bread!'
He took his knife and cut the bread roll. Then he quickly ate the middle of
it. Now he could push some meat inside the roll. He did this, then he put the roll
down.
He looked at the meat on his plate. 'There's a lot of it,' he thought. 'Where
can I hide it now?'
He looked at the small plate on the table. Perhaps he could hide some meat
under the plate. He looked round.
'Nobody's watching me,' he thought.
So he took more meat from the big plate in front of him, and put it under the
small plate. Then he pushed down hard with his hand.
The waiter walked past his table again. Mr. Bean smiled at him and put his
arm on the plate. After the waiter went away, he pushed down on the small plate
again.
'That's better,' he thought. 'Now you can't see the meat. Good. But there's
more meat. Where can I hide it?'
He looked round the table.
'The sugar pot!' he thought. 'But it's got sugar in it. What can I do?'
He thought quickly, then he put some sugar into a wine glass. Next, he put
some of the meat into the sugar pot. Then he put the sugar from the wine glass on
top of it.
'Good!' he thought. 'Nobody can see it in there.'
Suddenly, Mr. Bean could hear music.
'Where's that coming from?' he thought.
He looked round — and saw a man with a violin. After a minute or two, the
man came across to Mr. Bean's table and played for him.
Mr. Bean smiled. 'This is nice,' he thought.
Then the man saw Mr. Bean's birthday card, and the music changed. The
7. man started to play 'Happy Birthday'!
The people at the other tables looked round when they heard the song.
'Who's having a birthday?' they thought. Then they saw Mr. Bean and smiled at
him. Mr. Bean smiled back at them.
He pretended to eat some of the meat, but he didn't put it into his mouth.
The man with the violin walked round Mr. Bean's table and watched him. He
played his violin and waited for Mr. Bean to eat the meat. And he waited ... and
waited ... and waited ...
‘I’ll have to eat some,' thought Mr. Bean. 'He'll only go away when I eat it.'
So he put the meat into his mouth.
And the man with the violin turned away to the next table.
The meat was in Mr. Bean's mouth, but he didn't want to eat it. He wanted
to put it somewhere. But where? He looked at the man with the violin. He moved
quickly. He pulled open the back of the man's trousers and opened his mouth. The
meat fell inside the trousers!
He smiled. 'That was clever,' he thought.
The man with the violin moved round the next table. He played a song to
the man and the woman. The music was very beautiful. They listened and drank
their wine. They watched the man with the violin, so their eyes weren't on Mr.
Bean. Nobody's eyes were on Mr. Bean. He saw this, and he had an idea.
Mr. Bean quickly took the woman's bag from the floor. He opened it and
pushed some meat inside it. Then he put the bag on the floor again.
But when he did this, he accidentally put his foot out.
The waiter walked past with some plates of food — and he fell over Mr.
Bean's foot! The plates fell on to Mr. Bean's table, and on to the floor. There was a
loud CRASH!, and the people at the other tables looked up quickly.
'What happened?' they said. Then they saw the waiter on the floor. 'Oh,
dear!' they said.
Now Mr. Bean had another idea. Here was the answer to his problem!
He moved very quickly. He pushed the meat from his plate on to the table
with the other food. Then he pretended to be very angry.
8. 'Look, you stupid man!' he said to the waiter. 'Oh, look at this!'
The waiter got up from the floor.
'I'm sorry, sir,' he said. 'I'm really very sorry.'
The manager arrived at the table.
'I'm very sorry, too, sir,' he said. 'Oh, the food—!'
'Yes, it's everywhere!' said Mr. Bean. 'Look! It's in the mustard pot. It's in
the bread roll. It's in the vase of flowers.' He took the woman's bag from the floor.
'And it's in here!' He pulled open the back of the violin player's trousers. 'And
here!’
The waiter couldn't understand it.
'Go back to the kitchen,' the manager told him, and the waiter went away.
Then the manager turned to Mr. Bean. 'Please, sir,' he said. 'Come with me.'
'What?' said Mr. Bean. 'Oh, yes, all right.'
The manager took Mr. Bean to a clean table.
'Sit here, sir,' he said.
Mr. Bean sat down.
‘Thank you,’ he said.
The manager opened Mr. Bean's napkin. Then he got the birthday card from
the other table. He put it on Mr. Bean's clean table.
'Thank you,' said Mr. Bean.
The man with the violin came across and played 'Happy Birthday' to him
again. Mr. Bean smiled. Now everything was all right.
'Now I can start again,' he thought. 'And this time I'll do everything right.'
The waiter arrived at Mr. Bean's table. He put a plate in front of Mr. Bean.
The manager smiled and took off the cover.
Mr. Bean looked down.
And he stopped smiling.
There, in front of him, was a very large plate — of steak tartare!
9. The Launderette
A lot of Mr. Bean's clothes were dirty.
'I'll go to the launderette this morning,' he thought. 'I'll take the car.'
He put his dirty clothes into a very large black bag, and took the bag out to
his car. He put it inside. Then he got in and drove to the launderette.
The launderette wasn't very busy that morning. Before Mr. Bean arrived,
there were only two women there. The younger woman was with the launderette
manager.
'I've got to wash a lot of clothes,' the young woman said to the manager. 'I'll
want a big washing machine.'
'This is one of our bigger machines,' said the manager. 'Use this.'
At that minute, Mr. Bean arrived. He had the black bag on his back, and he
couldn't get it through the launderette door.
'Oh!' he said.
He pulled and he pushed. He pushed and he pulled. In the end, he got the
bag inside. He took it across to one of the washing machines.
'Money,' he thought. 'I want two one-pound coins for the washing machine.'
He took two one-pound coins out of his jacket and put them on the top of
the machine.
But then Mr. Bean saw a note above the washing machine: Machines now
cost £3.
'Oh, no!' thought Mr. Bean. 'Have I got another one-pound coin?'
He looked in his jacket and his trousers, but he could only find a five-pence
coin. He put this on top of the washing machine.
Then Mr. Bean remembered something. He did have another one-pound
coin, but...
He looked round.
The young woman was next to the big washing machine.
Mr. Bean saw her putting some clothes into it. The launderette manager was
busy in his little office.
'Nobody's watching me,' thought Mr. Bean. 'Good.'
10. He opened the front of his trousers. Then he started to pull out some string.
The young woman turned suddenly and saw Mr. Bean pulling the string out
of his trousers.
'What is that man doing?' she thought.
Mr. Bean saw her looking and turned away quickly.
But now the older woman looked at him. Her eyes opened wide. 'That's a
strange man,' the woman thought. 'He's got string inside his trousers!'
On the end of the string was some paper, and inside the paper was a onepound coin. Mr. Bean smiled. He took the coin out of the paper and put it on the
top of the washing machine. Then he put the five-pence coin back into his jacket.
Next, he opened the washing machine.
A man came into the launderette with a bag of dirty clothes under his arm.
He was young and strong. When he saw Mr. Bean, he smiled. But it wasn't a nice
smile. He didn't say 'Hello' or 'Good morning'. He pushed Mr. Bean away from the
washing machine.
'What-!' began Mr. Bean.
Then the young man pushed Mr. Bean's one-pound coins on to the next
machine.
Mr. Bean was angry. He turned round to speak angrily — but then he saw
the young man taking a white karate suit out of his bag.
'A karate suit!' thought Mr. Bean. 'So he can fight. Perhaps I won't say
anything.'
The young man pushed his white karate suit into the washing machine.
Then he put some money into the machine and sat down on a chair. He took a
magazine out of his bag and began to read.
Mr. Bean started to put his clothes into his washing machine. There were
some pairs of underpants.
'Monday,' he said, and he put one pair into the machine. 'Tuesday' He put
the next pair into the machine. 'Thursday. Friday. Saturday.' Three pairs went into
the machine.
Mr. Bean stopped.
11. 'Wednesday!' he thought. 'Where are Wednesday's underpants? Oh, it's
Wednesday today, and I'm wearing them!'
What could he do? He had to wash them, so he had to take them off. He
looked round.
'Where can I go?' he thought.
There was a partition near the washing machines.
'I'll go behind that,' he thought.
He started to walk to the partition, but the young man put his legs across the
floor. He wanted to make Mr. Bean angry. But Mr. Bean remembered the karate
suit. The man could fight! He walked round the young man's legs and said
nothing.
He went behind the partition and carefully took off his brown trousers.
The young woman put some of her clothes into one of the very big washing
machines. The other clothes were on the top of a smaller machine near the
partition.
She didn't watch her clothes very carefully. She didn't see Mr. Bean put a
hand round the partition. And she didn't see him put his brown trousers down with
her clothes.
Mr. Bean took off his underpants — Wednesday's underpants. Then he put
his hand round the partition. He took something — but it wasn't his brown
trousers.
It was a long brown skirt.
Mr. Bean put on the skirt and came out from behind the partition. He
walked back to his washing machine.
The young woman took the brown trousers from the top of the smaller
washing machine. She didn't look at them. She put them into the big machine.
Next, she shut the door of the machine and took a magazine. Then she sat down
on a chair near the dryers and started to read. She had her back to Mr. Bean, so
she didn't see him wearing her skirt.
Mr. Bean put his Wednesday underpants into his washing machine. Then he
closed the door and put in his three one-pound coins.
12. He sat down on a chair — and saw the skirt!
'Oh, no!' he thought. 'What's this? A skirt? Where are my trousers?'
The young man walked past and Mr. Bean tried to hide the skirt with his
hands.
'I don't want him to see me in this skirt,' he thought. 'What will he think?'
The young man went across to a machine on the wall and bought a cup of
conditioner.
Mr. Bean got up and went back to the partition. He looked at the washing
machine next to it and remembered the young woman's clothes.
'She put my trousers in the big washing machine with her things!' he
thought.
He went across to the big washing machine and tried to open it. But he
couldn't do it.
'I'll have to wait,' he thought, and he walked back to his chair.
The young man put his cup of conditioner on the top of his washing
machine. Then he looked at Mr. Bean — and saw the skirt. He started to laugh.
Mr. Bean looked away quickly. He got his black bag - and a pair of
underpants fell out of it.
'Oh! Sunday's underpants!' he said.
He tried to stop his washing machine and open the door. But the machine
didn't stop.
'What can I do?' he thought. He looked down at the skirt. 'I know! I'll wear
Sunday's underpants under this skirt! That's a good idea.'
He looked round, then went across to the conditioner machine, away from
the other people. Carefully, he started to put on Sunday's underpants. He put his
feet into them and — suddenly, he couldn't pull them up. He couldn't move them.
There was a strange foot on them!
It was the young man's foot.
Mr. Bean turned round and saw the young man laughing at him. Mr. Bean
wanted to shout, 'Go away, you stupid man!' but he was too afraid.
After a minute, the young man laughed again and went back to his chair.
13. Mr. Bean quickly pulled up Sunday's underpants. He was angry.
'I don't like people laughing at me,' he thought, and he looked at the young
man. 'What can I do to him? I can't fight him. He's too strong.'
Then he had an idea.
There was a coffee machine next to the machine for conditioner. Mr. Bean
went across to it and got a cup of black coffee. He smiled and walked back to his
washing machine with the coffee.
The young man's eyes were on his magazine. He didn't look at Mr. Bean or
the washing machine.
'Now!' thought Mr. Bean
And he quickly changed the young man's cup of conditioner for his cup of
black coffee. Then he carried the cup of conditioner to his chair and sat down.
He smiled. 'That will teach him a lesson,' he thought.
After a minute, the young man stood up and went to his machine. He had to
put the conditioner into it now. He stood next to the machine and laughed at Mr.
Bean's skirt. So he didn't look at the cup when he put the 'conditioner' into the top
of his washing machine.
But, of course, it wasn't conditioner. It was black coffee.
Mr. Bean tried not to laugh.
The young man sat down in his chair again and looked across at his washing
machine. There was a window in the door, and the young man could see his white
karate suit going round and round in the water. But the suit wasn't white now. It
was brown!
'What-!?' he shouted.
He jumped up. He ran across to the cup and looked inside it. Then he put it
to his nose and smelled it.
'Coffee!' he shouted. Then he looked across at Mr. Bean. 'Did you ... ?'
Mr. Bean didn't answer, but his face said, 'Who, me?' He pretended to drink
his cup of 'coffee'. But it wasn't coffee, it was conditioner.
The young man went to find the launderette manager. Mr. Bean stopped
drinking and said, 'Aaaagh!'
14. The young man showed the brown kагаtе suit to the launderette manager.
'What's wrong, sir?' said the manager.
'This karate suit was white when I came in here,' said the young man. 'Now
look at it!'
'What did you do to it?' said the manager.
'Me? I didn't do anything to it,' said the young man, angrily. He pulled the
manager across to his washing machine. 'This is your machine. Is that right?'
'Y—yes,' said the manager.
The young man showed him the karate suit again.
'This cost me two hundred pounds!' he said. 'What are you going to do about
it?'
'Er – will you come to my office please, sir?' said the manager. 'We can talk
about it there.'
♦
Mr. Bean sat opposite a large dryer. His underpants and other things were in
the machine. They were clean now, and nearly dry.
Mr. Bean waited.
After a minute, the dryer stopped. He got up and opened the door. Then he
started to take out his clothes.
A minute or two later, the young woman came to the next dryer and started
to take out her clothes. They were dry, too.
'Perhaps my trousers are in there!' thought Mr. Bean.
The young woman took some clothes out of the machine and put them into
a bag. Then she went back to the big washing machine for her other clothes.
Mr. Bean moved quickly. He started to look through her clothes for his
trousers, but he couldn't find them.
'Where are they?' he thought. 'They're here somewhere. Wait a minute!
Perhaps she left them in the dryer.'
So he looked inside it. First, he put his head into the machine.
'I can't see anything,' he thought. 'It's too dark.'
Next, he climbed into the machine.
15. The young woman was busy at the big washing machine. She didn't see Mr.
Bean climb into the dryer. Then she took something out of the big washing
machine. Her eyes opened wide.
'What's this?' she thought. 'A pair of trousers. I haven't got any brown
trousers.'
She threw them on to one of the other washing machines, then she took her
clothes across to the dryer.
Mr. Bean was inside the dryer.
'Where are my trousers?' he thought.
Suddenly, the woman's washing began to fly into the machine — a skirt, a
dress and some shirts.
'What-?' began Mr. Bean.
Then the dryer door shut with a BANG!
'Oh, no!' thought Mr. Bean. He turned and climbed back to the door. 'Help!'
he shouted through the window in the door. 'There's somebody in here!'
But the woman couldn't hear him. She took a pound coin and put it into the
dryer.
Mr. Bean hit the window in the dryer door. Bang! Bang! But nobody heard
him.
'I can't get out!' he shouted.
Suddenly, it was very hot inside the dryer. There was a noise — and the
machine started!
The clothes began to go round and round!
And Mr. Bean began to go round and round ... and round ... and round ...
